Waves Oceanfront Resort is the largest hotel in the Old Orchard Beach Collection by Lafayette Hotels, located in the heart of Old Orchard Beach, Maine. It's a busy, family-friendly resort town welcoming over 100,000 national and international visitors a year, just 20 minutes from Portland and about 2 hours from Boston.
The Collection employs around 140 national and international staff, so you'll get a true American exchange experience. Students average over 40 hours a week, so the work is challenging and rewarding, but there's still plenty of time for fun. Monthly luncheons bring J-1 students and American staff together, and many students return season after season.

Location
Why Old Orchard Beach?
Old Orchard Beach is one of New England's most beloved seaside towns – a classic American summer destination. You'll find a vintage amusement park (Palace Playland), an iconic pier packed with food stands and shops, weekly fireworks over the ocean, live music, and a beach that stretches as far as the eye can see. The town is buzzing with international students every summer, so making friends is effortless.
Location is another big win: Portland, Maine's coolest city, is only 20 minutes away, and Boston is about a 1.5–2 hour ride – perfect for weekend adventures. Lobster rolls, lighthouses, and road trips to New York City are all within reach.
About Maine
Maine is famous for its rocky coast, lobster, Acadia National Park and island lodges. Students often work in coastal resorts, restaurants and wilderness lodges in one of the most beautiful corners of New England.
