Maine Coastal Vacations

Old Orchard Beach - A Boardwalk, a huge beach, amusement park rides, fried dough, cotton candy.... Old Orchard Beach is a destination spun from kids' dreams. Family-friendly accommodations, numerous activities, and a beautiful sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean draw families to this area year after year.

From here, you can easily visit the bustling port city of Portland, home to an excellent Children's Museum that is ranked among the top twenty in the nation by Child Magazine and just a few miles north. Head just a short drive farther north to the shopping mecca of Freeport - home to the famous L.L. Bean store as well as numerous other outlets, all in a picturesque setting that even the ubiquitous McDonald's blends into, cleverly disguised as an old-style home. And, just a little ways south are the popular coastal areas of Wells, Ogunquit and York as well as the picturesque beauty of Perkins Cove.
