A Tale of Two Beaches--Reid State Park

After having gone to Popham Beach, I took the next weekend to go to Reid State Park.  I thought I would be seeing the tale of Popham v. Reid (a local debate).  Instead, I saw Half-mile Beach v. Mile Beach . . .

Rocky coast v. sandy beach v. lagoon v. sand dune. . .

High tide (complete with Seaweed Alley) and Low tide (complete with shallow pools) . . .

Also, there were shiny rocks, lots of driftwood, and battling currents between the ocean and bay--none of which translated well in pictures.  Bottom line: low tide is the best bet, and Half-mile beach is more promising.
