Con
Can get crowded in midsummer
In a nutshell
I love York Beach. It is the most relaxing place in New England.
KarenandCory Says: Cape Neddick Lighthouse, better known as Nubble Light can be seen from many spots along the coast in York, Maine. The best view is from Sohier Park which offers an unobstructed view with perfect photo opportunities.You can sit on a bench and watch the waves crashing on the...
Walk along beach/road after sunset
johncudw Says: Here is a view of the Atlantic Ocean and Nubble Light shining off in the distance
Go to the lighthouse in the winter
johncudw Says: It may be cold and windy ( bundle up good ) but lighthouses and rocky Mainecoasts look even more interesting when fresh snow has fallen over theseThis one was taken in February 1998
Walk near the Nubble Lighthouse
E_R_I_C Says: York Beach is divided into two beaches - Short Sands at the north and Longs Sands to the south. The beaches are divided by a peninsula that houses the Nubble Lighthouse, which you can visit if you take a few minutes to drive or walk to it. I also suggest walking around the...
BeachBumz Says: Needed more room to add more pictures of the animals...LOL.

Fox Lobster House: $23 Clam Strips Dinner

Inn On The Blues: Blues has it!
DebChrisman Says: Joe and his staff made our sons wedding reception a success. Our guests were treated with friendly smiles, great food and a professional staff. Inn on the Blues is the coolest place on the Short Sands Beach that you could find. Joe helped solve our wedding time crunch and...
Fox's Lobster House: Only Good for a View
rileysugar Says: You go there for the view - unfortunately, we were seated in the back corner, with no view except through people's heads. Staff was nice, but the food was lacking. The lobster bisque was the consistency of pudding. Wouldn't go back - just because it's a landmark doesn't mean...
Inn On The Blues: Feeling Blue?? Eat Here
BeachBumz Says: Jazzy Restaurant. Lots of pictures on the wall of Blues Players. Serves Lunch and Dinner. Sandwiches, Steak, Seafood, Etc.Take-Out for Breakfast.I ate here for dinner one night. I had the Steak Tips. I recommend it. It was excellent.When my plate was brought to me, there...
Fox's Lobster House: Food Next To The Nubble
BeachBumz Says: Very close to the Nubble Lighthouse. Small restaurant, also has a little gift shop. Really didn't have a favorite dish. I had lunch there, because I just got to York Beach. I had the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was good.
jacquelinepaton Says: If you go downtown a bit, you'll find that there are lot of quaint little bars that overlook the ocean. It's nice to have a drink or two and then walk on the beach. They're also nice places to meet people who live in York year-round, or who are seasonal visitors.
the little bull: Native American
KarenandCory Says: I'm not much of a shopper, it takes a unique store to make me a repeat customer. The Little Bull is the only store in York, Maine that I visit every time I'm in the area. I love the Native American goods, especially the jewelry!! The little bull sells a wide variety of...
BILL & BOB'S: Sterling Silver Jewelry
KarenandCory Says: HUGE selection of jewelry, some decent and some crappy. Some of the sterling silver jewelry is sold by weight. In my experience the staff is not overly friendly, I'm sure it depends on who you are dealing with.
KarenandCory Says: This is a restaurant that serves hotdogs. I put it in this category because it's a short drive from the main York attractions and it's the most unique eating place I've ever been to. I hate hotdogs but my boyfriend likes them and this place always looks packed. So we went to...
KarenandCory Says: Most tourists come to York for Beaches and shopping. Few know of Mount Agamenticus. I had been visiting York Beach for over 20 years before I discovered this place. Mount Agamenticus offers panoramic views and you can see as far as Portsmouth, NH to Kennebunkport, Maine as...
KarenandCory Says: Bocce is a popular activity on Long Sands Beach. There's not enough space on Short Sands to sling your balls... (sorry, couldn't resist). What is Bocce? It's kind of like bowling on the beach.The goal is to get your Bocce ball as close as possible to the pallino, a smaller...
KarenandCory Says: There is a basketball court on Short Sands Beach. It is always being used. I assume you just have to be lucky enough to find it empty, or wait your turn. At the very least, you young teenage girls can go check out the boys! Bring your own basketball.
BeachBumz Says: This really isn't an activity, but driving along to go to Nubble Lighthouse for like the third time, I looked to my right at the beach and saw the most amazing sand sculpture there. I pulled over to take a picture of it. It was really cool, but funny.
KarenandCory Says: Cory's mom & sister came up from Florida to visit us for the first time. No lie, it rained non-stop the whole time. The rain caused lots of flooding in Maine. I found these pictures at http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/york/060515sidebar.shtmlWe were shopping here the...

York offers small-town atmosphere and a nice location to stop while exploring New England. It is a town that, by itself, doesn’t have a lot to offer for restaurants or night life. But, I was there...

I never saw a lighthouse in person before until I went to York Beach. I was able to get a picture with the lighthouse light on. What a beautiful site!!!

One of the places we enjoyed inside the zoo was The Butterfly Kingdom. You were able to see different colored species of Butterfly fly around freely.
