Popham Beach State Park is open all year from 9 am to sunset, although the park may be closed some days during winter months.
There is an entry booth at the front entrance that collects the service fee as well as a self-service station.
The landscape of Popham Beach State Park often changes due to erosion of the dunes and beaches. The beaches are sandy and popular for sunbathing and island walking during low tide. The Atlantic surf makes the park an excellent location for surfing and shell collecting.
The park is busy during the summer months, and lifeguards are available on the beaches; however, visitors should be aware that there are rip tides and a strong undertow that can be dangerous for even experienced swimmers. Dogs are not allowed from April through September.
