York Beach and the surrounding towns offer many sites to visit and explore.

Here are some of our favorite places as well as some resources for things to do!

Beaches:

Long Sands Beach is a short walk from the beach house, about 0.2 miles.

Short Sands is located downtown York Beach continuing on long sands from the beach house, offering arcades, shopping, and restaurants.

York has a few beaches that are fun to visit and if you are looking for more exploring, travel north or south on Maine's Coast to get beautiful ocean water views.

Dining:

Some of our local favorite spots to eat or grab a cocktail are Stone's Throw and the newly opened Lulu's Tiki Bar. Both are lovely spots with ocean views and options for dining in or outside with the ocean breeze.

A laid back local spot for lobster rolls is the Lobster Cove (also a great choice if you are looking to walk from the house along the ocean!)

The number of dining options in and surrounding York is vast, if you are looking to explore outside the York area, Kittery, Portsmouth, and Portland are hot spots for amazing cuisine.

Ice Cream:

The Goldenrod is a landmark in York Beach town center, with homemade fudge, candies, ice cream and eat in dining.

The Village Scoop in downtown York Village is an ice cream must with many flavors and even homemade waffle cones.

Dunne’s Ice Cream is another home run and a fantastic option on your way to the Nubble Lighthouse.
