Sandy Point Beach, Public beach in Stockton Springs, United States
The beach stretches along the Penobscot River entrance to Penobscot Bay, featuring sand shores, woodlands, and marshes across 104 acres of protected land.
The location served as a significant shipbuilding site during the 19th century, with archaeological evidence indicating Native American fishing activities dating back 8,000 years.
The beach area preserves industrial heritage through visible remnants of parallel timbers in the sand that were used for launching large ships into the bay.
Visitors can access 2.4 miles of trails, including a wheelchair-accessible path built on a former railroad spur leading to the beach area.
During certain seasons, visitors can observe seals resting on mid-river ledges while exploring the remains of old pier pilings from a previous fertilizer factory.
