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.
