The rising sun breaks above the clouds this morning at Popham Beach.

Popham Beach is challenged by erosion and shifting sands. Sand movement and beach dynamics have had a dramatic effect on Popham Beach, causing extreme shoreline change and dune erosion. Bordering the south side of the mouth of the Kennebec River, Popham Beach is truly one of Maine’s rare geologic landforms.
