Five GREAT Reasons to Make York Beach Your Home:
Beautiful Beaches
Easily the #1 reason to choose York Beach is for its breathtaking beaches! The village is home to two beautiful (and very different) beaches. Long Sands Beach offers over 10 miles of beautiful white-sand beach on a quiet and secluded stretch of shoreline. It’s particularly popular with walkers and surfers.
Short Sands Beach is located just steps from Downtown, making it a popular go-to for tourists, families, and Downtown shoppers and diners.
Plenty of Fun to Be Found
The beaches are beautiful, but York Beach has a lot more to offer! Downtown York Beach is filled with fun—shops, restaurants, arcades, boutiques, candy stores (like The Goldenrod), and much more. There are a few nightclubs and live bands (for those who like a little casual nightlife). And the nearby York’s Wild Kingdom is Maine’s largest zoo and amusement park!
Tons of Events & Activities
There’s always fun to be had in York, any time of year! Enjoy fun events, festivities, parades, and much more. York Days is a York Beach favorite—with a craft fair, softball tournament, fireworks, and more. “Christmas in July” is another favorite, when the Nubble Lighthouse is bedecked in festive lights… in the middle of summer! There are plenty more events to enjoy, too, like sports tournaments, road races, movie nights, a Festival of Lights, a Halloween Hop and Parade, and many more.
