SEACOAST SCENIC WALKS
Kittery, ME
Part two of our stroll between Kittery's two beaches, divided only by a spit
of grassland that juts out into the Atlantic. THis spot made it into the newspapers
back in the 80s when nudes were spotted sunning on the rocky coast. The nudes,
we think are gone, but the dogs have taken their place. We've not seen a place
like it -- a tiny piece of land between two curved beaches.
