Maine Diaries – Birch Point State Park
It wasn’t a beach day, but I wanted to check out the beach at Birch Point State Park in Owls Head, Maine.

A visit to the Owls Head Light Station in Owls Head Maine on 12 May 2023. A squat lighthouse on a bluff overlooking Penobscot Bay.
“All I could see from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood;
I turned and looked another way,
And saw three islands in a bay.”
“This chapel is built to the memory of all young people, who have passed through this world and gained God by so doing.
It stands for freedom of thought, prayer and action. It stands for holiness within the heart and wholesomeness within the body, and for God in the heart each waking hour.
May the Lord bless all young people who come here for spiritual and mental refreshment.” – Helene Bok
Some photos of the breakwater in Rockland, Maine. It is almost a mile long with a lighthouse at the terminus.
What I enjoy about coastal locations is the opportunity to to watch the sun rise (or set) on the water. During a visit to Rockland, Maine I was able to do that.
