    Kettle Cove is a nice secluded area to relax and check out the coast. There is a decent sized parking lot, and it didn't seem very busy when I was there. There are benches to sit and watch the waves. There was plenty of beach to walk down, and the area seemed really clean. I enjoyed my time and would recommend checking it out.

    One of my favorite beaches to go to. It's never super busy when I've gone and it's always so peaceful. 11/10 will go again soon.

    Pretty little beach in a larger park with great views. Family, dog, elderly friendly with easy parking and benches, grassy areas for playing and picnicking, as well as great stretches of natural beach and rocky shoreline for exploring or launching small water craft.

    Beautiful jaunt along the beach and small trail that connects to a lightly trafficked road that you can use to loop back to the parking lot. Even in the winter the views are spectacular.

    This smaller park on the coast of Maine in Cape Elizabeth has sweeping views of Casco Bay. It is beautiful, clean and peaceful. Keep in mind Parking is limited.

    Been going to this beach since I was young; great place to take the family, especially just outside either end of the tourist season!

    Cool rocks! Easy access to Crescent Beach. Not too busy on the Friday before the 4th of July weekend. Relatively inexpensive relative to many other ME state parks, at $4pp honor system for non-Mainers.

    Great little secluded area with beach access. Really cool rocks and shells to collect. It’s a cute, quiet place with free parking sometimes!

    Beautiful beach and a great spot to swim and relax in the water! There is quite q lot of seaweed washed up, so not beautiful manicured white sands, but usually quiet and always beautiful views. Just have to watch out for the seagulls who will rummage through your bag for any snacks they can find!

    It's a great little beach cove that parents and grandparents like to bring their children to explore the tidepools on the rocks. Relaxing place with a great view. There is an honor system to pay right where you enter the beach. Please make sure you leave your money so they can keep this place clean and fun.

    Beautiful views, great tide pools, lots of shells and cool creatures to look at! Not a crazy busy beach- admission was $4/adult non-resident and $1/kid 5 and under.

    Decent day b4 a winter storm, so no places left to park for ten minutes or so. Can't show the beauty, really... For a winter in Maine, there should be snow, sorry, not my department =]

    It isn't a sandy beach like Popham, so definitely wear flip flops or water shoes to walk over the rocks if you have sensitive feet. The trails are pretty but short, so it's not a place to go if you're hoping for some long nature walks along the coast.

    Great beach! Lots of shells and crabs. Our kids had a great time. Saw people with lawn chairs enjoying the view above the cove and down on the sandy parts of the beach. We had our family photos taken there, so fantastic place for high school senior portraits, family photos, engagement photos. Great views and picturesque settings.

    Very nice, clean park/beach along the coast. Parking is tight during peak hours. Nice views and a good atmosphere with tourists and locals alike. There is an unenforced fee for entry to the beach, almost no one pays.
