This large stretch of sandy beach in Maine has breathtaking sunrises over Prout's Neck and the ocean in the summer months. Low tide is the best time to find sanddollars and other precious shells, and the occasional seal will pop its head up to say hello. Riding the waves on a boogie board is not to be missed.
