Lucia Beach derives its local name from Birch Point Beach State Park, a 62-acre recreation area featuring a sandy crescent-shaped pocket beach in Owls Head on Penobscot Bay. Acquired by the state in 1999 with Land for Maine's Future funds, this beach showcases scenic views of the Muscle Ridge Islands dotting Muscle Ridge Channel, offering one of the few sandy swimming beaches in the Penobscot Bay Region.
The beach provides swimming in bracing waters, fishing, picnicking, and tide pool exploration, with short trails leading to rocky headlands framing each end of the crescent. Visitors can explore gentle surf and scenic coves while enjoying proximity to historic Owls Head Lighthouse and the renowned Owls Head Transportation Museum in this Knox County coastal community.
Nearby Rockland dining includes Primo Restaurant for award-winning farm-to-table cuisine featuring local seafood and ingredients, Archer's on the Pier for waterfront lobster and fresh catches on the working harbor, and Rockland Cafe for classic Maine diner fare and seafood baskets served to generations of midcoast visitors.
