South of Sand Beach

Acadia National Park in Maine is a special place and I was able to visit again this summer.  During the four days spent in Maine, the weather favored us and we had beautiful sunny and warm weather which made our stop at Sand Beach really enjoyable.  My kids were happy to have a break from hiking so we spent the day at the only beach in Acadia.  Most people know that the ocean is always cold in Maine, but despite this everyone in our group ducked under the frigid cold water! Nobody else seemed to copy us and most stayed on the warm sand.  What a memorable day at the beach with an amazing view in all directions.  This painting is of the coastline south of Sand Beach where the rocks are a sandy tan color and the dark green vegetation makes a striking contrast.
