Sand beach is the only ocean beach with 'sand' on Mt. Desert Island. It's very popular with tourists and tends to get very crowded. Unfortunately the Maine water is cold 365 days a year. It rarely gets above 55 degrees so not many people actually get in it. Children love to splash around in it but it's too cold for a swim. The winds off the ocean are constant making it a great place to sit on a hot day if you can stand the crowds.
