While Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is considered the "crown jewel" of Bristol's Parks, there is another spot that vies for the title. That's Pemaquid Beach. Here, along a jagged and rocky coastline, you'll find an unusual crescent of fine, white sand. During the summer, the beach is a favorite place to get relief from the heat. Sun worshippers abound, and you'll find more than a few intrepid swimmers who brave the chilly water.
Pemaquid Beach is the perfect place for a family to spend the day. There's a snack bar with everything from lobster rolls to hot dogs. And, if you've left something behind, stop at the beach shop and pick up a towel or sun block. You can even rent beach chairs and toys for the kids. And, during the summer of 2003, we hope to add a new "resource room" (courtesy of the Pemaquid Watershed Association), a place to discover the area's flora and fauna.
Park is open from Fathers Day to Columbus Day. Admission is $2.00 per person. Contact the Bristol Parks Department for information about discounts. Please leave your pet at home.
