Rising Tide at Long Sands Beach!

ShannonRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We loved our stay! CONVENIENT!! Perfect for a small family or couple. Right across the street from the beach. Two lovely restaurants right next door, the general store for quick snacks. Walk to the town, park, arcade. The beach was lovely and the tide never came in too close! The rental was very clean, had everything you would need. View and sunrise were amazing. Allee was very responsive! Would definitely come back with my family!

A rocky shoreline is depicted with various sizes of smooth stones scattered on wet sand. Gentle waves lap against the shore under a clear blue sky, while distant beach houses are visible along the coast. The scene evokes a tranquil seaside atmosphere.

Surrounded by Seascapes!

AmandaRating, 5 stars9 months ago
I had a fantastic stay at JoLynns place! The location is absolutely perfect—close to everything you could possibly need and directly in front of the best part of the beach! The host, JoLynn, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She provided clear instructions for check-in and was always available to answer any questions or offer recommendations. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. This is one of the few places that are even better than the pictures. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting York and looking for a convenient and enjoyable place to stay. Thank you, JoLynn, for making my trip so memorable!

York Lake Front House

GregRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Gene and Sherri we're wonderful hosts. Their property is absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. They have a grounds crew of about a dozen friendly turkeys and a cute chipmunk that kept the yard neat. Lol. The lake was gorgeous, the views were fantastic and the place was even more beautiful than the photos indicated. We don't usually repeat vacation spots but this place can certainly be an exception. My daughter plans to book this place next year. Fantastic experience! Thanks again to Jean and Sherri!

Our stay in York was wonderful. Victoria and Mike made the place so welcoming, they even left us some fresh breakfast/coffee items. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower, even as fall is here and the temperatures aren't as warm. Thank you Victoria and Mike!

Sweet cottage, steps from beach

CherylRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We absolutely loved this sweet cabin and our stay in York! Everything was comfortable, and we were glad to be able to walk to dinner at a Stone's Throw and to get morning coffee at Long Sands General Store. Walking to the lighthouse (around 3 miles round trip) was a highlight as well. We highly recommend this gem of a cottage!

Rocky Acres at York Beach

MarcRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second stay at Reenie's home, it's a beautiful house located just a few minutes down the street from Long Sands Beach, the house was spotless and had everything you'd need during your stay, all the comforts of home, including a grill and firepit outside, and a lovely yard, it's in such a great location, very quiet, yet near everything, you can walk to many of the restaurants and its a few minutes from the Nubble Lighthouse area. Our family had a ball! We love staying here, it has become an annual tradition when we go to York. Reenie and her husband Randy are the nicest people, they are so friendly and want to make sure you have a great stay, they go above and beyond as hosts! We can't wait till the next time we go back, Thanks so much Reenie & Randy!!! The Costa Family

Your guide to York Beach

Welcome to York Beach

York Beach is adjacent to (and part of) the historic Maine village of York, which was first settled in 1630 and is home to a world-class assortment of historic buildings from America’s earliest era. York Beach, which is anchored by the almost scenic Nubble Light lighthouse just to the north, consists primarily of two-mile Long Sands Beach and the quarter-mile-long Short Sands Beach. Both are teeming on sunny summer days with families and beachgoers from near and far. It’s an ideal destination for those who can’t make up their mind for a vacation. Mindless day at the beach, or a mindful day learning about the history of colonial settlement? You can do both on the same day here, or divide your activities between sunny and rainy days. York Beach is informed by a 19th-century beach town sensibility (complete with a saltwater taffy shop in the center of town), and isn’t quite as crowded as similar towns further to the north.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in York Beach

Winter can be very cold and empty, but if you’re drawn to a certain spartan beauty (and you’re well outfitted), it’s worth a visit. Spring and fall are filled with lovely days — some days in May and October can be spectacular, with sun and beguilingly warm breezes, but other days are windy and rainy and spectacularly frightful. The weather is most agreeable from late June through September, with frequent sun and daytime temperatures comfortably in the 70s or 80s Fahrenheit. The beach can be packed on weekends in July and August; arrive early or plan to visit on weekdays.

Top things to do in York Beach

Old York Historical Society

Located in the center of York, the society maintains more than half a dozen historic buildings, several of which are open to the public and all of which capture the enterprise that was a coastal town in pre-Revolutionary America. Among the more intriguing are the Old Gaol, built around 1719 with two-feet-thick stone walls, where reprobates were incarcerated. It’s said to be the oldest public building in the United States, and was in use as a jail until 1860. Nearby is the Old Burying Ground, dotted with ornately engraved early tombstones.

York Harbor

Tiny York Harbor is a short distance south of York Beach and serves up a large and scenic slice of New England. It’s formed where the York River meets the sea (there’s also a nice beach near the outlet), and is better known among boaters for its safe anchorage than among those traveling by car. If there’s a destination at the harbor, it’s the Wiggly Bridge, where Barrells Mill Pond intersects the York River. The narrow pedestrian bridge was built in the 1930s, and lays claim to be the world’s smallest suspension bridge.

Cliff Walk

The mile-long Cliff Walk begins at the end of Harbor Beach Road, and, true to its name, follows a cliffside trail along the water’s edge with memorable ocean views. Much of the trail crosses private land in front of impressive summer cottages, so visitors are asked to be on their best behavior. Wear sturdy shoes, as the footing can be uncertain in spots even in the best of weather.
