Located at Pocahontas Rd., Kittery Point, ME 03905, Fort Foster Park includes beaches and trails. Two of the beaches within the park are typical Maine gray granite hard pack sand. One of them is mostly rocks from fist sized to pebbles. At low tide, the two sand beaches provide a slow and shallow entry into the water which makes it perfect for tide pooling. The rocky beach offers a quicker entry into deeper water. Fort Foster is a self-supervised park and there are no lifeguards. With the exception of dogs, no domestic animals are allowed in the park.
