Why Old Orchard Beach?
Old Orchard Beach is a classic American seaside resort town with 7 miles of sandy beach, a historic pier, an amusement park (Palace Playland), arcades, fried dough stands, live music, and spectacular fireworks every Thursday night in summer. It’s small enough to walk everywhere and lively enough that there’s always something happening after work.
You’ll be about 20 minutes from Portland, Maine’s coolest small city, famous for lobster rolls, lighthouses, and craft breweries. Boston is a short bus or train ride away, and New York City is an easy weekend trip. Maine summers are warm, sunny, and perfect for beach days, hiking, and exploring the New England coast.
