Only about 2% (70 miles) of Maine’s coast is considered beach (sand and cobble), with about 35 miles of sandy beach concentrated in the southern portion of the state, from Portland south to Kittery. The majority of Maine’s beaches are bound by rocky headlands, making them called pocket beaches or closed littoral cells.
