Crescent Beach State Park and the January 2024 Storm

Leave a Comment / Maine / Megan

Finally made it down to Crescent Beach after the January storms, and it’s not great. Like canyons carved into paths and large swaths missing from the former coastal line not great. Not surprising, but still sobering. I was heartened to see that despite how warm it’s been, nothing is blooming yet.

I cannot emphasize how little sun we’ve gotten for a good chunk of January. The sun actually came out today, for the first time in what seems like ages, so we braved the wind and went to the coast. We had two insane coastal storms the week of January 7th – the worst being the one

High tide with the remnants of Hurricane Lee. We’d tried to go to Two Lights, but a lot of the neighbors had the same idea. The line of cars was out Two Lights Road all the way back to Maxwell’s Farm.

This was Sunday’s walk. I’d been meaning to go there for a while, because they have gentians this time of year, so when my mother mentioned that our local salvage store (just a bit up the road near the mall) had scored a haul from a rather nice yarn store, this pinged my memory bank
