A Cove of Wonders

A month ago we went and checked out Kettle Cove, a small almost unknown beach located just north of Crescent Beach. I have seen many Facebook friends post pictures, enjoying the sun at this location but never knew where it was. After a google map search and my Mainer intuition we found it. Its almost like your own private beach. There was a small grassy area to kick a ball around or have a picnic lunch, a few benches to just sit back and enjoy the view, and some side trails that lead down to another little cove. We of course we had to check out the trails, we packed up the baby beast in the BOB and headed out. 

The trails were easy, smooth totally stroller friendly and offered several informational signs along the way about the wildlife you may see. When we reached the end of the trail that lead down to the second cove, the path down to it was pretty rustic, very narrow, and rocky. Good thing we had the BOB with us...Im just gonna take a minute and do some free advertising for BOB...We have the Sport Utility version of this stroller, and its amazing, the front wheel doesn't pivot so it is great for bumpy trails and it has the 5 point harness to keep your precious cargo strapped in..Good thing, cause getting the stroller down that narrow trail to the second cove was pretty tight, and at one point my daughter was completely suspended only being supported by that five point harness...Once we got down there it was awesome..a very rocky beach, but sea glass was everywhere. We enjoyed our lunch, the usual PB&J's on a giant piece of drift wood, after we were almost attacked by seagulls for our sandwiches, I explored some of the tidal pools and Mark taught livy to skip stones. We couldn't get her to leave and shocker she threw a fit when we were trying to head back up to the main beach, but once we got back up the trail and she got to kick the ball around with some exchange students she was fine. Love kettle cove and all it has to offer.
