Like many other Maine destinations, Phippsburg is synonymous with beach activities and outdoor recreation. There are many beautiful beaches to discover in the Popham Beach State Park and on Hermit Island, where camping enthusiasts can pitch a tent and experience the joys of camping right on the beach. You can experience a wide variety of enjoyable beach activities including swimming, surfing, paddle-boarding, fishing and shelling, to name but a few. Other activities include exploring two historic forts at the mouth of the Kennebec River, bird-watching and nature observation at the Bates Morse Mountain Conservation Area or enjoyable sight-seeing cruises in Casco Bay.
