You’re in a great spot now. There’s the big rock at popham, the fort down the road and Reed state park is across the water.

Just FYI: big sign by the Bath bridge saying Reid State Park is closed.

I keep reading about the big rock at Popham and some else mentioned it has incredible views. Thank you!

Reid is currently closed even to walk-ins.

The island at Popham beach is accessible at low tide and has some amazing views.
Top-Savings9809 OP t1_jec3u4w wrote
I have been looking at this as the main option, my only concern is that I’m not sure if dogs are allowed in the park after April 1st and considering Saturday may rain all day, I would have to go on Sunday.

Watch the weather, sometimes the post storm clouds and sunsets are amazing

Fantastic - thank you!
TyBo75 t1_jecpjkk wrote
Of course - good luck!

You’re right. No dogs beginning April 1.

Ahh shoot. Not sure if dogs are allowed. Thinking not. 🤞🏻

For reference, this looks like a busy summer day on the beach: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FZE22KdG3h3EGwmb8?g_st=ic

I’d be surprised if be any people on the beach at this time of year

First off - congrats!!!
There are so many amazing places and I’d recommend doing some serious scoping out ahead of time (google street view is fantastic lol) but the first place that came to mind was the Morse Mtn / Sewall Beach hike. There are so many pretty places on that walk and the cliff overlooking the beach would be super cute for a sunrise (or sunset?) proposal. I haven’t been there in a few years so I don’t have the most up to date info but it’s definitely got a good combo of woodsy/oceany vibes and is close by to where you’ll be.
Hope all goes well with you both!!

Thank you! I’m anxiously excited as I know she has no idea. Our rental owner mentioned the same as you did for areas to explore so I’ll look more into it tonight! Fingers crossed that the weather doesn’t ruin it!

Wolfe's Neck

Thank you! I didn’t see Wolfe’s Neck before but I’ll check out what it looks like!

I saw a wedding party at Wolfe's Neck once, taking photos!

Definitely consider Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, which was featured in Forrest Gump. Totally picturesque worthy of popping the question. It’s beautiful during the day, but nothing beats lighthouses at night. Recently, many people flocked to capture the aurora borealis that just occurred recently here in Maine. Maybe you guys will get lucky and see some, or even some Milky Way galaxies!

Marshall Point Lighthouse. Open daily sunrise to sunset
178A MARSHALL POINT RD, PORT CLYDE, ME 04855
and yes, that is Tom Hanks.

Congratulations to you! I don't have an expert opinion on locations, I'm just sending happy energy your way.

Reid state park has a ton of picnic areas along the walking trails that run behind the beach area and are relatively private, just you and a fantastic view!
SadExtension524 t1_jee0hqf wrote
Reid is currently closed for repairs.

I had no clue, thanks!

If you want a beach then Goose Rocks or Fortune Rocks beach, but that’s a bit south from you. Closer to you I’d recommend Ocean Point Walk or Pemaquid Point. Good luck!

Walking out to the big rock at Popham at low tide is lovely with nice views, but dogs aren't allowed on the beach after today and Reid State Park is closed for construction. If you want to go a bit further, you can go up route 1 to Camden Hills State Park and climb up the Megunticook Trail to Ocean look out- a beautiful view on a huge rock ledge overlooking the ocean. Or you can drive up to the top of Mt. Battie- same beautiful views. Pick a clear day. Dogs are allowed. Camden is a cute town.

Doubling Point Lighthouse is in Arrowsic, close to Bath. There’s a small parking area and it’s usually very quiet. It’s a nice spot!

You'd think that if Maine was so special to ya, you'd have some favorite places already.

Cant hurt to check ! Or find something new!
Top-Savings9809 OP t1_jecdsgo wrote
Absolutely - we decided to go somewhere new this time and was looking for suggestions in case there was something I might have overlooked. Appreciating all of the feedback.

Geez, what a Debbie-Downer comment to kill the beauty of this thread. Are you from away?

Don't have to be from away to be a jerk, plenty of 7th generation Mainahs on here prove this on a daily!

Put her ring in a bottle of Fireball, tie it around your adventure buddy’s neck, lay her down on the mountain of crusty snow at the Auburn Walmart, and let your adventure buddy “rescue” her like he’s Barry der Menschenretter. It’s romantic, exciting, and Maine as fuck. She’ll definitely say yes.
