Life circumstances and weather conditions came together to allow a February afternoon paddle out of Bucks Harbor in Machiasport (downeast Maine) and toward Jasper Beach.
We had paddled this cliff-lined section of Maine coast a number of times before — and for a number of reasons, it has become a favorite. This short section of the coast offers a picturesque working harbor, views of photogenic Yellow Head, craggy high cliffs, rock gardening opportunities, and the unique volcanic rhyolite stones of Jasper Beach.
