There are picnic grills and picnic tables available. Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather, sunscreen, beach toys, musical instruments, needed meds and plenty of drinking water.
Sorry, skyclad, alcohol and pets are not allowed on the beach.

FMI: Maine Pagan Clergy Association website

Meetings are open to anyone who identifies himself or herself as Pagan clergy with a ministry in Maine. The MPCA is meant to be a place where we can meet and talk with one another about issues that come up in our clergy work, and share energy toward projects that will help us all.

Our meetings are held in a cast circle with a pledge of confidentiality, so that participants may feel free to discuss issues. Because sensitive subjects can come up, we ask that those under 18 not attend.
