Here’s a Surprising List of Things That Are Illegal to Do At Maine’s Beaches
It is summer time in Maine! That means, sunscreen, kiddo's splashing around, night time dips, and lots of memories to be made.
When you go to a beach with your family or your lover you think about what you need to bring for the day but you don't think about the things you can't do at a beach.
Did you know there some things you cannot do at a beach, things that could get you criminally charged?
I didn't know all of activities that could be illegal. So here I am, helping to spread the word so that you are aware that if you do something like see a pretty rock at a private beach, shaped like a heart, you do not pick it up because it is in fact, not allowed to do that in Maine!
Another interesting example is driftwood. I have a piece of driftwood in my home that I took from a Maine beach. The rules with driftwood are iffy.
Driftwood removal is restricted to wood that can be loaded by hand and wood that is not embedded in the beach or dune banks.
