Indian summer fun
There’s still time to get in some trips to the beach before cooler weather arrives. The crowds have thinned and you’ll find lots of room for your blanket at some of our favorite beaches: Crescent Beach State Park in Scarborough, Popham Beach in Phippsburg, and Reid State Park in Georgetown. For a list of beaches, amenities, and directions, go to visitmaine.net/beaches.htm
