York Beach: Southern Maine's Rocky Shore
York Beach sits at the southeastern tip of the town of York, one of the oldest European settlements in Maine. The area was part of Gorgeana, chartered in 1641 as the first English city in America, though the charter was later revoked. Two distinct beaches define the village: Short Sands, a compact crescent of sand surrounded by shops and arcades, and Long Sands, a mile-and-a-half stretch popular with surfers and swimmers. The Nubble Light, formally known as Cape Neddick Light, perches on a small rocky island just offshore and is one of the most photographed lighthouses in New England.
The village has a seasonal character. Summer brings crowds to the beaches, the Fun-O-Rama arcade, and the Goldenrod candy shop, which has been pulling saltwater taffy in its front window since 1896. Lobster pounds and fried clam shacks line the roads near the shore. In the off-season, the year-round population is far smaller, and many businesses close until Memorial Day weekend.
York as a whole has a population of roughly 13,000 spread across several villages including York Beach, York Harbor, York Village, and Cape Neddick. The Old York Historical Society maintains a collection of historic buildings in York Village, including the Old Gaol, one of the oldest public buildings in English North America. The town sits just across the border from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
