Guide
Good to know
Expect a quiet, uncrowded beach
This is a lightly visited local beach without the crowds typical of more famous Maine beaches.
Park across the street
The parking lot is located across Mason Bay Road south of the beach access sign at 580 Mason.
Visit for rock and sea glass collecting
Reviewers report finding unique rocks, sea glass, driftwood, and shells, making this beach particularly good for beachcombing.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2026
Check the tide before going
At high tide, much of the beach disappears underwater, so plan your visit for low tide.
Bring water shoes for rocky sections
The beach has both sandy and rocky spots, so water shoes protect your feet while walking and exploring.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Sandy River Beach?
150 yd in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, about 2 min. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Sandy River Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
