Parsons Beach Details
An idyllic small Maine beach located at the mouth of the Moussam River and bordered by sand dunes and wild roses. The majority of the beach is privately owned and off-limits, however, the northern section which borders the Moussam River is open to the public and leased to the town. Parking is extremely limited - even early in the morning - so it's best to visit via walking or biking. Facilities: Restrooms
