Ferry Beach, Scarborough

Sand beach Scarborough Ferry Beach is situated in Scarborough on the western side of Prouts Neck, and is one of the best Maine beaches. The beach is an excellent location for boating, cycling, and paddling. There are restrooms, showers, a concession kiosk, and a boat launch among the beach's amenities. The use of the boat launch and the municipal parking lot are subject to fees. In the summer, dogs are only allowed on the beach after 5 o'clock. No lifeguards are on duty.

This small and less well-known swimming area is a great option for families with young kids who wish to avoid the throngs of people. Although it has beautiful scenery and good sand, this beach does not have lifeguards on duty. Although there are no picnic tables, there is a snack bar where guests can get quick refreshments, so they should bring their beach blanket. On-site bathrooms and showers are available. Families and groups will find this to be a more economical alternative because parking prices are assessed per vehicle and are lower in the afternoon only.
