Welcome to The First Coast’s Beals Island Soundwalk.
Explore a selection of Beals Island stories and sounds in a unique way! This immersive audio soundwalk, created by College of the Atlantic student Ellie White, takes you on a journey through Beals Island’s culture and landscape. You can enjoy this walk on-site or from the comfort of your own home! Listen via Soundcloud below or on the mp3 player provided to you at the Beals Heritage Center.
The walk begins on the memorial bricks at the Beals Heritage Center (Big Pond Rd, Beals Island, Maine).
