Maple Beach is an unincorporated community in Bristol Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. Maple Beach is located along the Delaware River at the Pennsylvania approach to the Burlington-Bristol Bridge.[2] In 1917, Rohm and Haas purchased the residential properties in Maple Beach as part of an expansion of industrial activities in the area.[3] Four homes remain in Maple Beach as of 2013.[4] As of June 13, 2020, large signs at the North entrance indicate that the land is private property owned by DOW Chemical and trespassing will be prosecuted.
