Gooch’s Beach for a beachside spread. Bring your gear and do a little surf casting for stripers or just plan on catching a few midday winks if you prefer. The Maine Beaches are rich in the traditions of venerable seaside communities, distinctive lighthouses, and popular amenities. Stroll our boardwalks, clustered with ice cream stands and seafood shacks. In some spots, you’ll find spectacular oceanfront amusement parks that have brought fun to generations of families, whether it’s wooden roller coasters, featured creatures, or water park fun! Pull up a beach chair and join the panorama of brightly colored umbrellas. Many local beaches, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, Wells, and Old Orchard Beach, now offer beach wheelchairs that will help people with special needs not only get to the beach but enjoy the waves as well. Stay through the evening for spectacular sunsets or rise early for yoga in tune with an unforgettable sunrise. Then dive into water, water everywhere. For surfers, head for our waters year-round, but only with a full wet suit and a sense of adventure. With plenty of parking, we’re an easy getaway and a leisurely stroll into coastal villages rooted in culture, great eats, lodging, and fun. The Maine Beaches offers great vacation fun for every member of the family, including Fido. Nearly every beach is dog-friendly at some point during the day.
