Popham Beach: Sand, surf, shells and wildlife… I love wandering about Popham Beach, basking in the sun, poking in the tide pools on Fox Island, and watching the antics of the shorebirds. Low tide is the time to visit, for this is the only way to walk out to Fox Island. Thanks to Helen Hess (College of the Atlantic), and David Jones (MyBitOfThePlanet.com) for identification of the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish. I’d also like to thank Danielle and Nathan (enthusiastic sand dollar collectors whom I met on the beach) for arranging the sand dollars for me to photograph.
