This is a definite MUST for a great day on the beach. Soft sand, clean rest rooms and shower facilities. Plenty of parking. Also enjoy the nature trails.
this beach is so big is does not get over crowded, it has easy access but is a bit of a walk if walking is an issue for you.
We really enjoy ferry beach for a few reasons. It is less crowded than old orchard beach. Even on the busier days, it is still not bad at all. The walk is a little long but the walkway is awesome. You are not walking in sand until you hit the beach. Bathrooms are ok. Parking is usually very good. Great area for picniking in the shade with little grills and picnic tables. By far, one of the places we visit often in the summer months. It cost a small fee of 4 dollars to get in. We purchased a state park pass and this is one of the parks on the list of many that allows you in for free with the pass. We love the pass. If my husband and I are working, you can pass it on to your family and friends. Everyone in the car gets in for free. Great investment.
Small beach...clean...bathrooms!!!!!Often crowded with summer camps from around the area. We still love this beach and drive from the Sanford area!!
Beautiful sand, clean bathrooms and showers, plenty of parking and a great place for the whole family.
It is a nice nature park with trails and a path to the beach. There is a lot of parking space with, if you are lucky you can be in the shade. The only thing is that there is a long walk to the beautiful beach that is never very crowdy.
Ferry Beach State park is part of the Maine State Park system. It is very clean & well maintained. There are rest rooms on the premises as well as plenty of parking. Walk to the beach which is not rocky. Mostly sand.
In addition to the great gravel paths for strolling or biking, you can get to a wonderful sandy beach that goes for miles and miles. Great place to get in the calm water and swim, or walk during the beautiful sunsets. There is a day use fee IF you park in the state park parking lot. If you park somewhere else the beach, of course, is free as it should be.
The islands break up the waves which makes this place a favorite spot for my family. The shallow waters make the cold Maine water more tolerable.
the gps direction were wrong so make sure you put in the country club address and take it from there, very clean and not crowded, there were some canoes maybe for rent but not sure
