Winslow Memorial Park
Freeport, ME
Winslow Memorial Park, officially Delia B. Powers Winslow Memorial Park, is a town park in Freeport with a tidal beach at the mouth of the Harraseeket River. Picnic groves, a campground, and shoreline views round it out. It is a low key alternative to the outlet shopping a few miles away.
A pleasant, low key park with a calm tidal beach, but the fee and tide dependent swimming limit it.
How we score beachesTime your visit for high tide, when swimming is easiest. A per person fee applies in summer and ends once the campground closes.
A park lot serves the beach. A per person fee applies in summer, and entry is free once the campground closes. Day hours run 8am to 30 minutes after sunset.
Paths from the lot, then a short walk to the tidal beach. Uneven footing near the water.
Summer is warmest, though tidal water can be cool. Fall is quiet and good for walking.
