Wonderful hike over a "mountain" with spectacular views from the top and a very quiet beach at the end. About 5 miles round trip hike.

This is a must do while in Phippsburg if you can do a mild 2 mile one way hike. Seawall beach is worth the time and the look out points along the way are beautiful. Easy for kids to walk but it is 4 miles round trip. Bates College conservation area. Parking is easy early morning, harder as the day goes in.

Walk across marsh, up Morse Mountain to a spectacular view, down to the beach. No facilities.

A two mile hike takes you to the most pristine beach area ever! Don't go in early June (bugs), and go early or later afternoon, as parking can be problematic.
