The Beaches of the Maine Beaches Region

Miles of breathtaking coastal scenery, sandy beaches and picturesque villages make the Maine Beaches Region a premier destination for vacation fun. Explore the historic coastal towns of Kittery, York, Wells, Ogunquit, The Kennebunks, and Old Orchard Beach – some of Maine’s best beach towns.

More than 30 miles of beaches means beachgoers have lots of options for spreading out the blankets, chairs and umbrellas, from small pocket beaches to long, wide arcs of shimmering white sand, all perfect for a relaxing day of sunbathing, swimming, bodysurfing, beachcombing and kite flying. And you can find many beaches offering beach wheelchairs for accessibility for everyone.

Go sailing, take a whale watching cruise, go sea kayaking or grab a rod and tackle and try surfcasting. Play a round of eighteen holes at a top-rated golf course. Explore classic lighthouses, secluded harbors and rocky shorelines, or shop at the Kittery Outlets, antique shops or local boutiques.

The whole family will enjoy the many festivals, cultural events and historical museums. There’s theater, music, and plenty of nightlife. Feast on fresh Maine lobster at a local lobster shack or dine at one of the many fine restaurants or inns. Relax in a cozy B&B, or a fine hotel, resort or spa.
