We went to the nearby and very popular Scratch Bakery and came here to eat our bagels and pastries. It's a quiet beach with some nice scenery -- Casco Bay, islands, lighthouses, boats -- and is near the Spring Point Shoreway Trail. It's off the beaten path, so to speak.

I’m wary of this place now. My puppy was shoved, screamed at and hit. He walked up a family and I guess scared them. I get Moms maybe don’t want a dog to smell her children but the whole family having this crazy reaction is not okay. The kids did not cry, no jumping, no barking and not aggressive at them. Probably curious why she was swinging her child around. Recalled my dog as soon as he could hear me over the yelling and made him sit. He started taking photos of my dog and I started to yell. I apologized for my dog scaring them and that he loves children and was just looking. Not aggressive. He said my dog wasn’t in voice control (probably because we were both overwhelmed from the yelling) To show I made my dog come, heel and sit. The Guy came after me saying my dog scared them (the adults) but Postured like he was going to hit me. I’m wary of people who take children irresponsibly to a open leash dog beach willing to do this to my dog. I am sad, mortified and don’t want to go back to my favorite place.
