Love Reed State Park!! Nice clean place. Lots of areas to grill just bring charcoal. There are also a lot of picnic tables. Very large place 1 mile beach also a 1/2 mile beach. Restrooms are also available to the public, handicap ♿️ accabale. I am grateful for this beautiful place. 😍 🌞🌈🌊

Wonderful beach park with plenty of space to walk around on trail and sand. The summertime is insane though with the traffic of tourists. We live about 20 miles from here and even with arriving as soon as they open there’s a bit of a crowd. Don’t bother trying to get in past noon, or be prepared to wait in a LONG line of cars. It’s a lot better in the fall and winter in terms of traffic. Still beautiful no matter the season.

April 23, 2021 - All your senses awaken at Reid State Park, regardless when you visit this ocean gem! “Thanks” to the Reid family for their generous donation of land to Maine in 1946! Driving through Georgetown, take a right onto Seguinland Rd. ( big USA flag painted on a rock) then another mile to the park entrance. Some say Popham Beach ( sand) is better, but you can’t beat the iconic Maine coastal scenes at Reid! There’s two big parking areas, to the left at Griffin’s Head ( rock formations & trees) behind the bath house, and to the right at Todd’s Point about 2/3 mile to another bath house . In all the years my family visited Reid Park not once was it closed in summer for over-crowding like Popham Beach Park. What a surprise to visit Reid Park in April, on a gorgeous spring day. No waiting on parking. Fantastic smells of ocean, seaweed, salt air! Watching white and grey seagulls swooping down into frothy blue waves at the rocky inlet. Sounds of the ocean’s rolling waves lapping sand, wishing you had a bedroom window cracked to play those sounds as you fall asleep. No fly swatter needed for those pesky green headed horse flies in April ( but be prepared in the summer)! Features at Reid State Park *Fee required *Two large parking areas *Restrooms available at both *Picnic tables, and a few grilles available *Life guard on duty at kid swimming area *Snack bars at times open ??? (Past) *Loads of rocks to explore *Inlet & Bridge to explore *Loads of drift wood to explore *Long beach to stroll & build sand castles *Bring fly swatter in summer (horseflies) *Ski Trail is a 2 mile loop *Little River Trail is 1 mile, at Todd’s Point Notes of Significance 1946 - Investment mogul Walter Reid gifted hundreds of acres for a park 1949 - Maine opened Reid State Park From Reid Park, one can see . . . A. Seguin Lighthouse to the southeast B. Hendricks Head Lighthouse to the NW C. Old Coast Guard station on Damariscove Island to the north Mooring B & B ( before park entrance) was the original home of Walter Reid. Suggestion: 1. New Trail head sign plexiglass is “fogged over” difficult to read, at Todd’s Point? 2. Parks should be free to those who can’t afford to pay fees . . . Just saying ** Park Ranger “Sam” started in 1985, was very helpful & informative! Thank you! 😀

This is a primier state park combining woodland trails, sand beach, and desolate rocky coast. Parking is limited, as at all state parks but the walk in is worth it. Grest views are punctuated with plenty of picnic tables, benches, and cookout grills. There are outhouses near the entrance and much of the park is wheelchair/handicap accessible. Rocky areas will challenge even most agile visitors and are managed with wheelchair friendly scenic overlooks. Kids will love the many tide pools. Everyone loves the beach. If you only visit one park this year. Reid would be a great choice. EDIT 5/14/22: park is open in off-season mode but parking lots fill fast. Rest rooms near beach are closed though potties are available at far side of parking lot with long lines outside. Water remains dangerously cold and swimming not suggested (fresh water ice out was less than a month ago ). NO LIFE GUARDS ON DUTY. That said we had a great day here today and look forward to official start of summer park season after Memorial Day with return of full services. Kudos to hard working park staff for keeping this great beach open and safe during the off season so use locals can beat the record setting heat this weekend!

Nice park. There’s one area towards the left of the main parking lot which is mostly granite and rocky structures. The area on the right contains a normal beach and sand area. There is also a small freshwater pond.

This beach has the most beautiful waves I've seen yet in Maine..almost a tropical color to the water..pictures are so amazing here ! Bathrooms are big, great grassed area to have lunch off the sand.

A wonderful spot to spend time with the family on the beach. Picnic areas with grills on site and some gorgeous views.

I was told to check this place out while on Vacation in Maine. I’m so happy that I took the time to explore this beautiful spot. The view is fabulous, it’s such a beautiful place to spend the day. They have picnic tables in different secluded spots.The bathrooms were clean with showers outside to rinse off before getting in the car. They had another area for kids to play in the water. I’ll be heading back in August and I can’t wait. 👍🏽🥂

Always a favorite of mine. Went back yesterday and found a new little spot that is a little more private a beautiful beach side this park has so many different options for relaxation its worth a trip it does cost to enter during summer season

You can see the coast of Maine! It is beautiful scenery . Don’t forget the mosquitoes repellent though.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to…. Miles of soft sand and ice cold water.

Great beach and rocky shores. Picnic tables with shade. A bathroom and place to rinse off. The water is cold but it’s nice.

Great beach! Very beautiful, expansive views with lots of space to spread out. The swimming is great. The sand is large grained but soft. This is overall just a beautiful spot on the coast. It's a pleasant drive down the island to get there. Even the views from above the parking lot are impressive. There are two ocean beaches as well as a lagoon where younger children can swim and make sand castles. The estuary behind the beach is lovely. The parking lots can get full so plan to arrive on summer weekends.

I would give Reid State Park 5 stars easily if it wasn't for pesky biting flies (more than one type). The park is beautiful with more than 1.5 miles of beach and back side lagoons. Weather dependent waves are a plus. The sand is mostly clean. State of Maine needs to do something about those flies though.

What a beautiful day trip to Reid State Park! Definitely a hidden gem with the rocky coastline and sandy beach.

A great place to visit to enjoy the beach and a great hike thru the woods. Can be crowded during peak summer, but can be visited year-round.

A bit storm tossed, but they're working on that. The new bridge looks amazing.

Had a wonderful afternoon here with our 11 and 6 year Olds. We flew a kite, walked the beautiful beach, enjoyed climbing the rocks and took gorgeous shots of the marsh. We've been coming here for many years and I never tire of the park. Easy parking.

2 years down. Can't wait for more this is 1/2 mile beach..
