Sand Beach, Beach in Hancock County, Maine, United States
Sand Beach extends along the Maine coastline with a 290-yard strip of sand and gravel between granite mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach formation occurred through centuries of shell fragments from marine animals being crushed by ocean movements against the rocky shore.
The beach serves as a central location for summer festivals where local residents gather to celebrate Maine's maritime traditions and seafood.
The water temperature at Sand Beach remains at approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the summer season, making swimming a brief activity.
The beach contains fragments of sea urchins, sand dollars, and crushed shells, creating a mixture that appears pink when wet.
