The 21 best beaches in and around York

We were visiting the area with our two nine year olds and this beach was recommended to us, and certainly didnt dissapoint. Parking could be difficult depending on time of year and time of day. We went early and arrived around 11am and were able to find parking. Its an app based meter system so you will have to spend a few minutes figuring it out. It wasn't outrageous cost wise, $9 or so for a few hours. Note if you going all day, there are all day parking lots that were advertised for $30 nearby which is clearly more bang for your buck. The nice thing about the street parking is that it's right along the beach, which made shuttling things very easy. The beach was pretty clean, no real trash to speak of, but they also dont have bins, so everything you bring, you take away. Mind the tide. When we arrived it was high tide so the was fairly close to the beach access stairs. When we left it was going out and I bet there was an additional football field worth of beach in front of us. If it was going the other way and you aren't paying attention you could lose stuff to the ocean. The water is frigid. The board at the lifeguard stand said it was 55 degrees. Sounds nice on a hot day, but the temperature swing is extreme when you go from the beach to the water. We still got it and swam, but be prepared. The beach wasn't real rocky, it consisted mostly of smooth gray and brown sand mixture, which made it easy on the feet. The waves were great for low key surfing or Boogie boarding. Certainly it was a great spot for our family.

York Beach… a nice sandy beach with water so cold only Canadiens and Polar bears would love it. Waters were clear and clean, nice beach for this region. Just makes me miss Santa Rosa Beach.

Beautiful sandy beach. We went after Labor Day and there was no problem parking. I wouldn’t go during the summer months. Nice, clean bathhouse. Easy pay at Kiosks. Nice long range view of Nubble Lighthouse.

This has been our family's favorite beach since 2007. We come up every fall and enjoy the area and this beach. I prefer the rocky section. My kids prefer the sandy beach. We all win with Long Sands. ❤️ Accessible. Easy parking (pay through the app).

A timeless question is whether a spectacular sunrise on a beautiful beach or a spectacular sunset on a beautiful beach is better. The answer is both. Both are better. The weather on the first weekend in October was warm, cloudless, and with the light breeze, sublime. Our hotel, the Sea Latch Inn, was just a few steps from the sand. In fact, we had a fantastic view of the ocean from our 2nd-floor room. I recommend the place! As the sun set, the sky and sand filled with pastel colors, and the moon rose over the ocean. We held hands, walked on the sand, and listened to the waves softly lapping at the beach. At dawn, the sun rose over the water, and we walked again, sharing the sand with shorebirds, tiny crabs hiding among the rocks, a man practicing Tai Chi, and a broad, flat beach that invited an early morning walk before coffee on our hotel room balcony. It was idyllic, and we will be back.

Anazing views. Limited sand at hi tide, so plan accordingly. A sidewalk is narrow in places with drop down to the sea wall. There is limited parking, Web based paid parking omly works if you can access spotty cell services.

Very nice clean beach right next to public road. Parking is free on the right side and it's right next to the road. Usually not as crowded as it's sister beach "Short Sands" so there's plenty of room to roam around.

Old fashioned soda shop with candy store inside where they make homemade salt water taffy. Not too many food options on the menu but the grilled chicken club was pretty good, if only they had fries as an option. I didnt order any ice cream but other customers had some good looking sundaes :)

The nostalgia of this place is off the charts. My parents were going here over 60 years ago and it has changed very little. A lot of comfort. Food is good but relatively basic. Taffy machines still produce the same candies.

One of the only places you can watch them make taffy in the world! They're still using 70 year old machines to make candy, you can watch the stages of boiling, placing it on the taffy puller, and the packing machine. It's mesmerizing and a fun, free experience, until you go inside of course! Sit at the bar and have an ice cream soda, shop for candy, gifts, or stay for lunch. It's a great time and fun for everyone.

Kathleen from Finestkind told us about this place on the boat tour so we had to check it out. Super crowded but the kids behind the register are very attentive and get your order done quickly and accurately. Taffy and chocolate are excellent and it was fun to check out a working taffy shop and see the production in action.

I read about Goldenrod in an article about some of the best hidden gems. Now im positive this place would pop up without being hidden but its nestled in the cutest nook of other restaurants, stores and gift shops. Being a busy Sunday by the beach we figured it would be busy. The little neighborhood was filled with people enjoying all York had to offer . The paid parking was easy to access onto our phones and pay as well. The app even came with a countdown option to tell you when your time was up or even to add more time which you may once you see what's around to explore. The resturant nestled right in the center had a window to view the taffy being pulled. Inside had all options of candy and chocolate for whatever you may desire. We had no wait for a table and our waitress was so kind. The food was soo delicious and prices were reasonable . Our little family enjoyed it all.

Going along with the whole vibe of this beach village, The Goldenrod is about as classic New England Americana as you can get! We didn't eat here, but got a box of the taffy. There were a ton of different flavor options and the price was reasonable. The younger girl behind the counter was so nice, and she seemed amazed (in a sweet way) that we had heard of the place from YouTube and that we were from Alabama. 😂

Been coming here with my family since I can remember. The taffy is out of this world and brings me so much nostalgia. Always really cool to watch it get stretched out on the machines from the windows and smell the ocean air.

Beautiful spot for spending an hour or a whole day! Sand is soft and clean. Close access to parking and shops/restaurants for those with limited mobility.

We love Short Sands. Great beach. Very scenic.It gets crowed quick in the summer. The people are friendly. Lots of families. A Playground. Food for everyone. Shopping. Arcade. At low tide there’s lots of space for beach games. The zoo is close. Very busy roads. Parking is about $4 per hour on the Park n Go app. It’s a short walk to Long Sands.

This beach is in a prime location. It's close to an arcade, bowling, a zoo, and so many other restaurants and shops. There's a parking lot right against the beach that charges 4 dollars an hour. There are bathrooms, which is a luxury in this area. It's good to get to this place before 10am because it fills up fast.

Beautiful clean beach. They have a public bathroom/changing area right next to the beach which is convenient. There is a modern playground fenced in for children and a basketball court. Parking at beach is a little tight and expensive so plan to arrive early if you want to get a spot. Lots of shops and food places close by.

We love short sands! The surrounding little town area is easy to walk to. Everything from fancy restaurants to a pizza by the slice can be found!

Love this beat Love the town vibe. Everything about it was amazing. Fourth of july, there excellent would recommend

Such a nice beach! Busy, but we'll maintained, such refreshing water and super sandy beach with perfect boogie boarding waves

This place is a shell of what it may remember it being. I would say around 38% of the games are out of order, which is sad, as many of these games should be preserved with care. Instead, they are shoved into corners and left to decay with the salty air. Many of the games that were “working” had mechanical issues, most to the point of inoperability. There is still a lot going on, and much fun to be had, but I would meter your expectations as best as possible. Also, the staff all seem depressed. It doesn’t help the atmosphere, and I hope they are okay.

It feels as though you stepped into a time machine at Fun-O-Rama. I would say 45% of the games didn't function properly or at all. Still had a nice time. Not very clean.

Yikes! Who's in charge of this place? Not that I blame them because what a terrible job but staff seems like a bunch of checked out teens with no personality. First two games we tried just took our money, got refund. Continued our rounds with $20 worth of quarters and found many machines out of order and not marked, some worked but not correctly etc. It was honestly a joke. So many games took our money it wasn't even worth walking up to counter every 2 minutes for refund. Aweful shell of an arcade that hasn't spent any money on upkeep..

Awesome classic, old-school arcade! It really makes you feel like it's the late 80s again! (assuming you're old enough) And if you're not old enough to remember, well then this is pretty much the vibe! The arcade games (at least the ones we played) were still only 25¢, which is unheard of. A great place to spend an hour or so hanging out!

This is a large arcade by the beach, so it's fun to come down and play some arcade games. As other reviews have stated, there are a few games aren't working, and it's obvious because they're not on, so you don't try to play them. The problem is when the game is on but doesn't work or give out tickets, and you've wasted your money on it. That just shows its a poorly run arcade. Overall it's fun. There are some brand new arcade games mixed in with all the other ones.

This place has the perfect variety of video games and ticket games! Although some of the games could use some maintenance (like waverunner and Daytona USA) but overall, I had fun here! Staff were super friendly and those other reviews don’t give this place enough credit. My dad went here as a kid and they still have the machines he used to play on! Overall 7/10 experience.

The selection looked great. SO MUCH of it was broken and not marked out of order. At least two pinball machines (champions pub and the Star Wars one) took one quarter and then didnt recognize the next one. Time Crisis and Silent Scope had broken light guns, so i paid and then couldn’t actually play the game. Theater of Magic played fine but took ages to return balls once they were locked or went to the trunk, and High Roller soft locked when I locked a ball and it just never came back. Completely unacceptable and a giant disappointment.

Enjoyed the little zoo they had and the interactive exhibits from feeding birds, goats, deers, ducks and the camel rides also the little carnival they had was a nice addition. The family had a great time the only complaint I really have is you have to watch while walking on there paved walk ways over the years tree roots have made it bumpy so there some real bad areas you could easy trip if your not careful.

First I'd like to say that some of the exhibits were awesome, such as the butterfly kingdom, parakeet exhibit, goats, and duck pond--those animals seemed to be so happy and thriving! Honestly I would go again just to see and interact with those exhibits. However, some of the other animals seemed to be in very small enclosures, were by themselves (from what I could see, but I understand that I was only there for a short period of time and do not know the ins and outs of caring for these animals), and seemed lethargic. The bathroom by the entrance was disgusting and desperately needed to be cleaned/sanitized. Stalls were out of toilet paper as well, so more attention to the bathroom conditions is definitely needed. Overall, it was not a bad experience and it had some really cool exhibits, but there are a few areas to improve in my opinion.

Visited here with my daughter while vacationing in Maine. Lots of fun animals to see. The otter in the added video was immensely entertaining and there were areas where kids could feed goats, deer, ducks and geese- bring your quarters for the food. We went on a weekday when it was barely 70 which is probably ideal as most of the animals were out and at least looking around as opposed to hiding from the heat. It does seem like they removed some animals from years ago when we last visited but there's still a good selection especially for the young ones.

Very cool and interactive zoo! The butterfly room and bird feeding rooms are so cool. Petting the goats is cool too. It doesn't look like much of a zoo upon entry, but don't let this book's cover judge the rest of it! It is a fantastic zoo and we have been to over 15 zoos this year in New England.

We had a blast. We saw kids , baby goats and 2 different types of monkey babies. A few large cats, zebra. The butterfly garden was really nice. Lots of exotic animals. Kids under 48" will get to ride the most rides . But there was still a few rides for the bigger kids. A very nice beach is a 7 minute walk from the rear entrance of the park through a commercial street with many food options and the typical tourist traps.

for such a small zoo, they have a lot of cool animals. They have tigers, lions, but no bears sadly lol. They have a lot of monkeys, and birds. My sons favorite where the birds and butterfly house. The cost is great 18$ for adults, but they do charge for 2 and under. overall will be visiting again, had a great time.

It's such a fun place. I will warn you that you will need quarters to feed some of the animals. It's very clean and they have a place to purchase snacks and drinks in the park as well as at the entrance. They have nice signs that tell you about the animals. It's spread out nicely, so there's no bunching. Feeding the parakeets was my kids' favorite part. Each feeding stick was $2.50, and it's best that each kid has one. I highly recommend going for kids between 2-15. You can bring strollers, but some of the paths are bumpy, so make sure it's sturdy.

Such a beautiful and well maintained place to visit. Down side is parking if you are not a resident. There a 4 non resident parking spots on Lilac St. I'm not sure where you park when that is full. I had a lovely resident explain this me and I got the last spot. I have difficulty walking so this makes your walk a little longer but there is a sidewalk and there is an under the street walkway to get to walking path. There is a nicely groomed trail before and after wiggly bridge. You can wander through the woods along the water, sit by the bank, watch the boats, birds, have a bite to eat or just enjoy nature. Don't forget to bring something for the Fairy hole. I highly recommend this stop.

Great place for a quick walk. Careful with young children and animals. There's a ton of poison Ivy right after you cross the bridge it starts and it's throughout the first half of the trail till it goes downhuill. The photos with red and yellow leaves show it all, easy to recognize as the season is ending. Also careful with parking. There's one 15 minutes spot and some permit parking spots. Further up the hill is the public parking.

Such a fun place to visit when in York Maine. I'd been coming to the area since I was a kid, but only recently heard about this charming suspension bridge - the smallest pedestrian suspension bridge in America. When you get to the other side, there is a very small island and trail you can walk around. Easy for families, dogs welcome.

This is just a fun great little place to stop by for a little exploring something fun and cool to do beautiful little walk lots of Old Town history from that area

Super bouncy bridge that gets bouncier the more people are on it. Worth checking out if you’re in the area. Leads unexpectedly to a nice woods walk with an easy loop trail.

So cute!! So serene. There are trails across the bridge so bring your hiking boots for sure.

Great little spot to stop and explore. Went in the winter but I have seen pictures and it looks like it would be great to visit in the fall as well or even to view a sunset. Short walking path to get in some exercise too. The bring is in fact wiggly. After you visit here why not visit the Wiggly Distillery 😀

Ellis Short Sands Park is a small park in York Beach Maine. It has a small beach area and a walkway along the beach and around the park area. It is an easy and pleasant walk with nice ocean views. It has a number of benches which makes it nice for senior citizens and children. There are some rocky areas on the side of the beach for those interested in beach combing. Some gardens, a playground for kids and lots of space for picnics. A two minute walk to downtown shops.

I bring my granddaughter to the playground and she loves it. During the warmer months it's fun to go to the playground, then to the beach, then walk over to one of the many business to get an ice cream. Wonderful for families.

Great place and very clean bathrooms, parking lot and beach. A great beach to watch the sunrise some of the best sunrises I've ever seen!

Easy parking and walking. A lovely spot.

Beautiful place to sit by the ocean. There are play structures, basetball courts, shade, and benches. Next to a pay parking lot. Beach is Dog friendly 7:00 pm to 9:00 am from May to October.

Beautiful park along a beach boardwalk. Fireworks show during York Days was incredible!

It was my first visit here and not the best timing after a big storm the day before. The big parking lot was closed due to heavy equipment cleaning up sand and debris swept onshore by heavy winds. We had a short walk along the waterfront and enjoyed seeing a few birds fighting wind and waves. We'll have to return when conditions are more conducive to enjoying this lovely spot. Hopefully no more damaging storms this winter!

Footbridge Beach is hands down one of the top beach destinations in Maine. With its long, wide stretch of soft sand and pristine cleanliness, it’s the perfect spot to relax, sunbathe, or take a scenic stroll. The beach is accessible by a short, picturesque walk across the self-titled footbridge, which opens up to a truly stunning coastal landscape. There’s ample paid parking nearby and while restroom facilities are on the smaller side, they get the job done. No dogs allowed. The only real downside? Navigating Route 1 traffic during peak “summah” can be a pain. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for this beautiful, peaceful slice of Maine coast. Plan ahead, get there early, and enjoy one of the cleanest, most beautiful beaches in the state.

One of the better beaches besides old orchard the sand was really soft really just lacking a foot wash station otherwise perfect beach

This is a pay area and no pets. But beautiful place to enjoy. Security camera for parking and to make sure you pay to play.

Great beach very clean beautiful sunset photo ops when I visited. Pay to park until 9pm

A great beach experience! The parking lot had plenty of parking available or it seemed like a convenient walk to the main road. The bridge over to the beach was beautiful. Then the beach itself was so clean and well maintained. The views from the bridge and beach made this a must visit stop.

what a lovely place for a summer swim the water is shallow and calm and perfect for the little kids. so many families enjoying a beach day. im very happy we arrived early to find parking because it is so popular and there was a line of cars all down the street when we left

This is a awesome beach! Just a short walk over the bridge, not real crowded. Im going back!

York Harbor Beach is my absolute favorite beach to visit in York. It is so beautiful, there is a really cute park above it and it is much less crowded than Long Sands Beach. It feels so peaceful, the perfect place for relaxing and reading a book while listening to the waves crash.

I go here often. If you don't have a parking permit, you'll need to park on the road, or chance a ticket. Last time I went, there was damage from the recent storm, but it is a beautiful, quiet place with calmer tides, which works well for kids to play.

I've seen the coast from South Padre Island in TX all the way to the coast of Maine. The rocks and shells up there make it my favorite.

I enjoyed York Harbor Beach one late afternoon in mid September. Since it was after Labor Day, it was not as crowded as it can be during peak season between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Parking was not an issue. It’s not a huge beach and sits in a little cove making a bit more sheltered. There was an occasional breeze and the temperature was mid 70’s with beautiful blue skies and gorgeous waves as the tide was going. Kite flying was not ideal but still possible. The bride and groom had a beautiful backdrop from many different locations at the beach. From the rocky shore on each end of the beach to the wet Sandy beach reflecting their image with the huge waves behind them, absolutely breathtaking! The bathhouse is a greatly appreciated amenity and was fairly well kept. No lifeguard was on duty but I did see several officers with dogs arrive to check on everything. A great beach and I will be enjoying it as much as possible as winter is just around the corner.

Was visiting from Denver...I couldn't wait to get back to the beach for the day. Water felt great! Sat out in the sun with my feet in the soft warm sand.

We stayed at the hotel at the top of the hill. Since parking was tight, this is the way to go. This beach does have bathrooms, a huge plus. This was a great place to swim and walk the sand, while it is small at low tide it is plenty big enough to explore. Although on a busy day at high tide the beach can get crowded. We preferred the morning before the sun got too hot. Sat to drink our coffee and a quick dip in the ocean before we headed into town to find lunch The beach is clean and has great views of the seashore and ocean. See photos for them.

So peaceful. Definitely visit the park up above that looks down to the beach.

Canoeing upriver during high tide has beautiful natural scenery where trees grow out of the rocks

Google maps needs to update the location.

Note that Google has the location of this beach wrong. It is actually right off the bridge by the campground. Pay $5 for parking at the campground. Beautiful, secluded beach. Plenty of sand for kids to play in at low tide. Plenty of shallow water for wading. We found snails, shrimp, barnacles, muscles, and a crab in tide pools. In an inlet of water, we found tons of hermit crabs and a few tiny fish. Deeper in the inlet there were also regular crabs. We didn't go into the ocean water, but another family found a bunch of sand dollars. Lots of purple and blue muscle shells, white clam shells, and periwinkle snail shells to collect.

Absolutely love it here

Super located, nice fishing spot

Great family beach.

Beautiful views, free parking at the summit, and a nice easy hike around the peak with the family if you stay on the "Big A" loop trail. The visitor center is only open Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 4pm so plan accordingly if you want to do that. Composting bathrooms on site are very clean. Great place to spend a bit of your day and take in some scenery.

Beautiful hiking trails. Pet friendly. Gorgeous views. The only drawback is parking. There is just not enough of it.

Very nice place to visit. Not too many people around on a weekday in October. The trails are in a very good shape and there are signs everywhere! The view from the top is fantastic, as one can see the ocean on one side and Mt Washington on the other side. Didn't walk all trails, but the Mt Agamenticus doesn't span a lot of feet in elevation, therefore don't expect it to be very challenging. Parking was easy, used the ParkMobile app (which said parking was free until 05/15/2026).

A hidden gem! Great views, hiking trails, bike trails. Bring your lunch and enjoy the views also bring bug spray.

Great place to spend an afternoon. The views were beautiful, the trails ranged from easy to watch your step. If you like trail hiking you'll love this place, we did.

As a visitor I love bringing my kiddos here to walk around and enjoy the views. As a photographer I love the backdrop options for family/portrait sessions

Great views- accessible mountain peak - all around amazing trip every time I have gone

Overall it was pretty decent. Drinks were great, food was pretty solid. However the atmosphere was severely lacking, hot and humid, sticky tables and just not the vibe we were looking for. Incredibly understaffed so wait time was very long and it wasn't even busy inside. Waitstaff they did have was friendly though. May return again in the future but I'm not likely to seek it out purposely though.

We were apprehensive when seeing the small menu. But man we’re glad we gave it a try! Got the guacamole/queso and chips, carnitas tacos, beef quesadilla, cheese quesadilla, and Shrimp tacos. All of it was great! And the chipotle aioli was fantastic. Our server was very kind and attentive. We ate outside at a picnic table, so we got to see the cars and people more than the actual atmosphere of the restaurant. We will definitely be back!!

Service was friendly Food- bland. Needs more flavor!! Chicken nachos needed some spice or something Lobster tacos- where’s the lobster and flavor Ordered a side of guac- needed some salt and cilantro. The burrito (not pictured) also very bland!

Menu seems very limited recently compared to past years, mainly tacos, quesadilla, or dips with chips. We got pork and fish tacos which were very good. Queso dip was okay. Not sure when it will be fixed but online menu is not accurate as of end of July 2024.

Great staff, Grace was new and she did fantastic! Lobster tacos were really yummy and a bit pricey but market price is higher this year so that's not really on the restaurant. Drinks were incredibly strong and so tasty.

We love coming here for the York Beach Nachos. Can easily feed 3 people for a meal or appetizer and only for $20! They are open for business during the Covid restrictions!

Used to have the most amazing lobster tacos ever!! My Husband and I would drive up to York for the day just to eat there… Since they moved however, they stopped selling them for some reason… The other food is still good, but I won’t make the drive JUST to eat there anymore.

Worth the stop. Quality beer and outside backyard patio. Dropped in after our beach walk. So much flavor in the beer brewed on the premises.

We just got married this past May and had our rehearsal dinner party at the York Beach Beer Company. Our bartenders were amazing and the beer was great. We had about 75 people there and the space was very comfortable. It was raining so the outside patio wasn't utilized, but we filled the room and it was still very comfortable. I would highly recommend if you're interested in having a semi-formal event with great beer!

Had a lovely time at this local brewery after a long drive and a day at the beach! The bartender was friendly and inviting, made my family feel welcomed and valued. The clientele were warm and conversational. Loved the vibe at this establishment. Now onto the beers! Between the draft beers and the to-go beers we purchased, I didn’t have a single one I didn’t like. Every beer was well-crafted and tasted crisp and clean. None of them felt like an accident, if that makes sense. Sometimes a craft beer just kind of tastes thrown-together but every beer I tasted from here felt like it was brewed with a goal in mind. And these beers achieved those goals! Well done, my compliments to the brewer(s) and the bartenders. We plan to visit this beach again next summer, and we will definitely visit this brewery again!

We kicked off our Wedding weekend by hosting a welcome party at York Beach Beer company and it was amazing! The staff is friendly and accommodating. They provided us with our own private spacious area and the drinks were to die for, especially their margaritas on tap!

Great alcoholic and non-alcoholic options! Plus we stumbled upon this place when there was piano man Joe Thomas! So great! What an experience for a Masshole visiting this part of Maine for the first time!! Bartenders were fun! Will be back no matter what!!

Awesome selection of craft beer with a great patio setting! Staff was very friendly and they accept dog on the outdoor terrace! While we had to get our beer inside, they server him his own bowl of water outside ! Awesome service!

Very nice outdoor seating with a food truck. Beer selection is good but could have more selections. Margarita was outstanding, mixer nice and light not sugary.

Really amazing distillery with a fantastic tasting room experience. Great spirits and cocktails with even better service. Cozy, rustic vibes and some truly exceptional drinks!

My wife and I visited Wiggly Bridge while checking out the York, ME area. The tasting room is very well done, and cozy. The bartenders were very knowledgeable regarding the spirits and the specifics that went into making each one. And one of them even created a special mixture for me to try that we came up with together by just talking about what might taste good together. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Awesome people, cocktails, liquor and vibe! Bartender was entertaining and professional, and made the best cocktails! We had a flight of tasting and the flavors and aromas are amazing. We had an absolute blast! Thanks to Chris for entertaining us with history and distillery lessons, and the Owner and Atticus for spoiling us with all sorts of flavors and tastings! Definitely recommend.

Visiting from Colorado and saw this place listed. We thought it would be a great stop but unfortunately we didn't even get to try any of their products as they wouldn't serve us due to having a small dog in a stroller, not even on their porch. On this trip we have stopped at numerous, distilleries, breweries and wineries. Not once have we been turned away. We are always aware that we will most likely have to be served in outdoor seating and we are great with that. So, not really happy with the way we were treated. I understand owners have the right to make their own rules for their establishment but still, it sucks

I attended a private event which included a guided tour of the distillery as well as a three-course dinner paired with cocktails. What a perfect evening! The building has so much historic charm and the ambience is just perfect. All the cocktails were delicious and expertly paired. Friendly staff seemed to honestly enjoy hosting us. The spirits are top shelf, there's a small retail space where you can purchase bottles, tees, glasses etc. Definitely worth the trip.

Great local distillery with a range of spirits. Super friendly staff and excellent cocktails. The $30 distillery tour includes a cocktail and 6 spirits tastings.

Always great cocktails and great service! Shannon and Jules were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Spicy Paloma, which was a special, and the Small Batch Bourbon Fig Manhattan. Each crafted well and tasted delicious. Then. We ordered The Forager which included gin, maple syrup and thyme - it was surprisingly complimentary. We have been here a couple of times and love the barn and atmosphere!

What an incredible place. Really cool shop with a lot of great gear. More importantly, super helpful and sweet staff. We signed our kids up for lessons and could not have asked for a better experience. Super great place and people.

The customer service I got from Olive and Charlie was fantastic! They really went above and beyond. I showed up late in the evening (not realizing it was close to closing time) wanting to rent a board for a quick surf, and they offered to stay open an extra 15 minutes so that I could get a few waves. Much appreciated!

We did a 7 person private lesson complete with wetsuits and boards and instruction. Jake and Will were positive, helpful and made it so fun. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I got a private lesson from Jake, he was awesome! I was able to catch waves on my own in a short few tries! He was more than helpful, great attitude and was cheering us on. Would highly recommend him as an instructor and a great activity to check off the bucket list!

perfect spot right to the beach. Great service with the other surf shop in Ogunquit. I rented a wetsuit for 25$ (day and a half) and it allowed me to enjoy the waves even in the mornings when my rashguard wasn't enough :)

Great service and beautiful atmosphere! Picture is our view at lunch !

Nick was amazing in helping me pick out a sweet longboard. He knew his equipment and local waves for sure. It’s also a really cool building and vibe.

If you are not a resident, it’s impossible to get here from the main access road. There is no parking for non-residents. The best way to reach Crescent Beach is by walking south along the rocky path, from Sea point Beach. I’m not sure it’s worth it unless you want the solitude — you can enjoy the same Sand and protection at Sea point Beach to the north.

This was a nice little beach tucked back in a neighborhood. You had to park up the road a bit and walk in, as the very small parking lot on the beach was for locals only (makes sense). There were many rocks and tide pools to check out and seemed very “east coast” in it’s rugged, natural atmosphere. Very nice spot.

Lots of beach that never feels crowded. Very dog friendly as well. Parking can be difficult for non residents.

This beach is a mixture of sand, small rocks and boulders. It’s fun to explore, but it’s not your typical sandy beach. We accessed this beach from Seapoint Beach. It had more wind but warmer water the day we went. Definitely a nice secluded spot.

This beach is very natural. Lots of sea vegetation on the beach and tons of snails!

No public access, no parking anywhere in the general vicinity. Must be nice to be rich and live within walking distance.

Not really a public beach. You’re in a little neighborhood
