From the carousel and arcades in York
Beach to the peace and quiet of the one of the largest wilderness areas on the East Coast,
York truly is an ideal vacation spot -- for all reasons. York has miles of beaches: the
popular Long Sands and Short Sands, and, off the beaten track, Passaconaway and Harbor
Beach.
The Old York Historical Society
operates a community museum, including the oldest jail in America, "where history
comes alive" for all ages. You'll find Maine's largest zoo and
amusement park in the heart of York Beach, and, on a clear day, you can see Boston, 70
miles away, from the top of Mount Agamenticus. And no visit to York is complete without a
trip to Nubble Light, perhaps the most beautiful lighthouse in America.
There are special events year-round in
York, including
Harvest Fest in October, and York Days, a week-long celebration of summer
in York Beach. A wealth of fine restaurants and accommodations, including oceanfront
resorts, campgrounds and cozy bed & breakfasts, will make your stay comfortable and
memorable.
