This is the best family beach in the Greater Portland area. It has facilities, snack bar & life guards. It has substantial free parking in a lot and adjoining streets. more »

My wife loves dog parks and loved seeing the dozens of happy canines frolicking by the ocean with their happy human parents. A beautiful Indian summer day brought out the best in everyone. more »

Not an overly crowded beach, clear water, pretty Rocky though which is why it's probably not to busy. My kids loved the playground too!

This is exactly what I would expect for a nothern. New England beach. Lots of rocks and cold water. Lovely clean beach with views of islands,a couple lighthouses and boats moored. Plenty of rocks to look at and skip. There is a decent strip of sand as well. It was not packed the day we were there. There's plenty of room to stroll and explore as well.
