What an unusual beach! Made up of nothing but smooth, multi-colored stones. As the waves retreat from the beach, the stones tumble against each other & create a musical 'song'. Very relaxing. Wish we could have spent all day there. We did happen upon a similar beach in Acadia National Park. It's called the Natural Seawall & is located at the Seawall Picnic grounds & a couple of trail heads. It also has the 'singing' stones. Both beaches are well worth the time to visit.

This is a rock beach but fun to explore! Take some time to try to find a heart-shaped rock. Study the myriad striations and smooth shapes, tumbled by the tides. A nice spot to just sit and read or reflect.

What a scene! It's out of the way but worth the trek. I could sit on the drift wood and listen to the rocks shifting all day if I had the time. The uniqueness of this beach makes it worth seeing.

There's no lifeguard if you do go swimming. Be safe!

You have to stand on that beach, with wind or tide waves or storm surge shoveling those rocks back and forth at and under the water's edge and just FEEL that sub-audible and hear that almost sub-audible VIBRATION of the jasper stones as they roll against each other as the continue to polish themselves smooth. There is nothing like it anywhere else in Maine. You will NOT be able to keep yourself from pocketing a rock or two to remember. [As Mainers since 1780s, we happen to have ancestors and relatives in this part of Maine, too]

First thing in the morning we headed to Jasper Beach in Machiasport. We arrived around 10am, parked our car on a small parking lot, and, to our surprise, it was just the two of us on the beach at low tide. The views of the ocean, towering reddish bluffs on both sides of the semi-circular shoreline, funny seagulls looking for the morsels of food hidden between the millions of round stones of the beach, mounds and mounds of bright green seaweed... a symphony of the remote side of Maine. We spent and hour or so going from one end of the beach to another and honestly we didn’t want to leave. Another merit of our walk, besides enjoying the sweeping vistas, was a great exercise for legs: walking two miles on the round stones is not too easy.

Tip: arrive early - the parking lot is small.

While staying in Bar Harbor, we took a day trip north to Jasper Beach, Maine. We arrived around 11 am and the tide was out. Just what we had hoped for! It is well know for sea glass, however on this trip we found none. We did find some of the most beautiful stones of all shapes, sizes and colors. There were stunning purple and white oyster shells and beautiful drift wood! We may not have found sea glass, but we had a lovely day on the coast of Maine.

A unique place to explore and enjoy the sun. Seems like a hard place to swim at high tide, but more inviting at low tide. This place is however a rock lovers delight. The shear amount of stones is something to see all on its own. Glad we came and spent some time walking to the far end!

Jasper Beach is just that, a beach comprised of millions of tumbled jasper stones that glisten in the sunlit. The sounds of the waves tumbling through the stones is hypnotic. Visit it once and you will never forget it.

***TIP: Tape the sound of the rocks and waves on your phone. Play it whenever you're
feeling stressed!

Who said it's okay to collect these rocks!!! This formation is a geologic wonder which is thousands of years old in its making. Every rock has been rolled thousands and thousands of times on this beach with its unique shape and geology. Removing rocks at some point transforms the shape of the beach. This remarkable place feels like a thing which is a whole and needs every rock and every wave and every tide to make it what it is. Removing rocks is not an act of wonder but of plunder. Do we have
to own everything on this planet??

Best way to get here is to head east on 92, which if coming north on US 1, turn right onto 92 just before crossing the river in town. It is an easy, but a bit twisty turny road 10 miles to the beach. Be sure to look around you as you drive, the view over Machias River is pretty and the inlets are beautiful. Once there, you will park in one of two gravel areas. The dramatic vista of the pretty cove is breathtaking. And all natural. There are no facilities here, no drop toilets, no picnic tables, nada. So come prepared. The short path will lead up to the natural "seawall" of ocean scrubbed smooth stones. And there are a LOT of them! Great for rock hounds.
Do be sure to pick up after yourselves...that includes your DOGS! Too many "piles" around...shame on those dog owners! And please take your trash with you..no garbage cans here. If you take it in, take it back out please. Respect the natural beauty and enjoy.
