The Ultimate Beach - The Ultimate Family Vacation - A Family Favorite
In search of the perfect family beachfront vacation? A
place to visit with a sandy 7-mile long, wide
beach?
But you want more than just miles of beaches - you want amusement parks for the kids, and
the kid in you, parks brimming with rides,
games, fried dough, hand-cut French fries and
cotton candy, a place every kid dreams of!
You want tranquil settings, a place to watch the sunset over a giant saltwater
marsh. Maybe go kayaking or canoe a scenic
waterway filled with natural wildlife. You want
to explore jetties and tidal rivers to fish for
that famed striped bass.
But wait, you want more in your fantasy
vacation, that you want dining options,
everything from roadside clam shacks to fine sea
view dining to mouthwatering pizza by the slice.
Golf too, 18-hole championship courses to
challenge the most skilled golfer. Plus you want
family fun miniature golf courses.
Wow, you really do want it all!
There is only
one beach to visit then, Old Orchard Beach,
where you will find all this and much more. Here
you will find far more to do than you can
squeeze into a week. In fact, many visit and end
up spending a lifetime (how do you think we got
here)!
It is impossible not to have the time of your
life in Old Orchard Beach. The gentle surf makes
this a favorite spot for swimming, sunbathing,
and making new friends. When the kids get
hungry, they can explore the Boardwalk for
pizza, French fries, hot dogs and cheeseburgers,
or you can choose from the many family-style
restaurants around town. Try your luck at the
video games, jump on a ride, treat yourself to
an ice cream or a frosty cool soda. Thrills,
chills and frills-take your pick or do it all.
Catering to families is a way of life in Old
Orchard Beach. The Beach, the arcades and
amusement rides, nightly entertainment, golf,
fishing, auto races and harness racing are just
a few favorite activities in the Old Orchard
Beach area. Old Orchard's Pier is the center of
the recreational offerings. Extending nearly 500
feet over the Atlantic Ocean, the Pier and
nearby Victorian Square feature shops, eateries,
games of skill, and nightlife.
During the summer, there are almost daily
special events, festivals, fairs, concerts,
street dances, and fireworks to entertain all.
Oh and did we mention, the omnipresent beach
always there, always luring you into its peace
and tranquility.
Old Orchard Beach is easy to reach by plane,
train or automobile. The Downeaster - Amtrak
train stops in Old Orchard Beach six times daily
(May - October) and Interstate Highways are just
minutes from the beach. By air, we are serviced
by the Portland Jetport, 13 miles north.
Boston's Logan and Manchester (NH) International
Airports are less than 2 hours away each.
You'll also find that Old Orchard Beach is
ideally situated if your interests go beyond a
lazy day at the beach. The Route One corridor
just west of town is a beehive of activity with
two water parks, an amusement park, restaurants
and The Shops at Biddeford Crossing. Twelve
miles to our north is the popular Maine Mall
with a vast array of stores, shops and
restaurants. The historic Old Port, with its
cobblestone streets adjacent to Portland Harbor,
is a dining, entertainment and boutique shopping
delight.
Old Orchard Beach is surrounded by the idyllic
seaside communities of Ocean Park, Pine Point
and Camp Ellis.
The cities of Portland and Kennebunkport are two
of our nearby neighbors, offering a variety of
harbor activities and more shopping. New
England's largest salt marsh is off Route 9 in
neighboring Scarborough with guided nature walks
and canoe tours.
Less than 30 minutes north is the bustling
factory outlet town of Freeport, home of the
world-famous L.L. Bean store, open 24/7, 365
days a year. And a new Cabela's World's Foremost
Outfitter Store is opening in adjacent
Scarborough.
Further north, Maine's rocky coast beckons with
such popular destinations as Boothbay Harbor,
Camden, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
