The Maine Coastal Public Access Guide is a compendium of publicly accessible beaches, boat launches, parks, and trails in Maine’s 144 coastal municipalities and townships. The sites include federal, state, municipal, and publicly accessible private lands, including land trust properties. The guide was originally published by the Maine Coastal Program in 2013. All of the sites were updated in 2025. Development and updates to the guide are ongoing.
The Maine Coastal Public Access Guide is available in two formats:
- • an interactive web map for the entire Maine coast and
- • a set of printable PDFs for the southern Maine coast available on the Maine Coastal Public Access Guide website
