Parking can be tough if you arrive later in the day. Good... More

One of the best in Maine. The beach area wasn;t crowded, but finding a place to park can be challenging.

Everything is nice about it although you would think Kennebunk/kennebunkport would let there be some food /and or drinks available for sale but the town is no doubt quite smug

A great family beach. Everyone is nice here. And it is clean. Dogs are not allowed in the summer from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. which is a plus. Park on the side street if you don't live nearby.

The beach area for public access is nice and scenic and it's never been crowded when we've stopped there. We usually stop by in September. There are meters along the road and you need to get a parking permit during the summer months, but in September you don't need to worry about that.

Beautiful clean beach. We stopped after the busy season but it was a great place to take a walk in the sand and play in the ocean if you feel like getting your feet wet.

Clean beach, with beautiful surroundings. Didn't seem all that crowded for late August. Just a nice place to view the ocean, and soak up some sun.
