The rocky shoreline wraps around the irregular border of Acadia National Park. Waves and currents continually modify the park’s shoreline. The 3 to 4 m (10 to 12 ft) tidal range leaves behind tide pools inhabited by diverse and abundant sea life. Most of the coastline of Acadia National Park consists of rocky cliffs. Since sea level rose following the Pleistocene ice age, sand accumulation along the coast of Acadia National Park has been minor. Sandy beaches are relegated to small pockets of sand in coves and a few sandbars in protected areas. Most of the pocket beaches contain more cobbles than sand.
