Day 14.036: The other end of Saco Bay

Saco takes its name from the river which in turn is named for the bay as far as I can work out (Bahio de Saco - Bay of the Sack). For the most part, the shore of the bay is the sandy beach that runs from the mouth of the Saco River at Camp Ellis to the verge of Scarborough Marsh at the mouth of the Nonesuch River at Pine Point.

Today, our morning walk started at the Scarborough end and we walked the northern part (Pine Point Beach, Grand Beach and Surfside Beach) down to Old Orchard Beach Pier on this impressive stretch of sand (in places amazingly flat):





All in all, it was a little over five miles and we were ready for breakfast when we were done.
