Why Old Orchard Beach?
Old Orchard Beach is a legendary Maine summer destination — seven miles of golden sand, a historic pier stretching into the Atlantic, and a boardwalk packed with arcades, fried dough stands, lobster rolls, and live music. It’s a small, walkable, incredibly friendly town where the international student community is huge and the summer social scene is unbeatable.
Best of all, you’re perfectly positioned for weekend adventures: Portland (Maine’s coolest food city) is 20 minutes away, Boston is under 2 hours by car or train, and New York City is an easy long-weekend trip. Acadia National Park, the White Mountains, and countless lighthouses and coastal towns are all within reach.
About Maine
