Officials at Maine's most popular state beach posted signs last week that warn visitors the terrain beneath their feet could give way and land them in natural pockets of sticky sediment. The signs at Popham Beach State Park, about 50 miles east of Portland, Maine, warn visitors of the potential hazards near the mouth of the Morse River, bureau spokesperson Jim Britt said by email.
The beach authorities explained that the nearby Morse River shifted closer to a well-trafficked portion of the beach, putting visitors in the path of the unusually wet sand, Acord said. A 2021 state guide to beach erosion stated that the river migrated a half mile in the last few decades. “The river underwent a dramatic course change in 2010,” wrote Robert G. Marvinney of the Maine Geological Survey, author of the guide.
