Is Heron Cove on the beach and ocean?
Heron Cove is located 80 feet from the shore of Union Bay, which separates Newbury Neck from the mainland and Acadia National Park. It sits on quiet, protected, deep seawaterperfect for swimming and boating. Heron Cove is nestled in the woods with a very private beach that offers miles of excellent beachcombing and walking. The ocean bay directly in front of our private beach accommodates the largest sailboats (most of our neighbors have them), as well as power boats in crystal-clear waters that reach a depth of 37 feet. Although we dont have a mooring at present, we plan to add one in future so guests may bring their boats to Heron Cove. Tip: When renting a coastal house in Maine, be sure to ask if it is located on tidal water, which means that mud flats are exposed at low tide, preventing swimming and launching a boat from shore. Heron Cove is on deep ocean water, which means swimming and boating are always possible, even at the lowest tide.
