Figure 7. A view looking south from Center Beach at Popham Beach State Park toward the Fox Islands and down the axis of the tombolo. At about half the distance to the islands there is a low area that the Morse River channel crosses. As the tide rises the islands are cut off from the park and water depths increase to several feet making it difficult to return from the islands when the tide is in. A child stands near the upper limit of the last high tide. MGS file photo by S. M. Dickson, April 19, 2009.
