Goose Rocks Beach (formerly known as "Beachwood"), is a coastal resort neighborhood located in the town of Kennebunkport, Maine USA, bordered by Cape Porpoise, Maine (another neighborhood of Kennebunkport) to the South, and Granite Point (a coastal neighborhood of Biddeford, Maine ) to the North. The Little River, which forms a border between Kennebunkport and Biddeford, empties into Goosefare Bay, the body of water that faces Goose Rocks Beach. Goose Rocks Beach was the site of the O'Hara Watercolor School run by American watercolor painter Eliot O'Hara from 1930 to 1947. The school and many other buildings burned down in the Great Fires of 1947.

“Three wise men of Gotham

If the bowl had been stronger,
My story would have been longer.”

“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it.... My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath—a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff—he’s always, always in my mind—not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself—but as my own being.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
