When the weather is beautiful, you just dream of spending time at the beach. The ultimate place to relax and soak in the sweet rays of sun we have here in our state. We know of a very small state park that can give you the total beach experience without the salt water. This small state park in Maine is perfect for a day trip.

Damariscotta Lake In Jefferson is a great destination for those who want a beach experience. Sure we have great oceans but the water in this state park is significantly warmer and always welcoming.

The grassy lawn gives way to a soft sand beach that is perfect for enjoying the sun. Grab a towel and your family and make sure to head out to this inviting beach.
The park is only 19 acres making it one of the smallest state parks in our state. However, when you look out at the vast expanse of the lake you will get caught up in the greater landscape surrounding you.
