Visting Saco Bay
MAINE’S BEST KEPT SECRET
Call us biased, but we believe Saco Bay is one of the most special coastal areas in New England. Hidden between Old Orchard Beach and the mouth of the Saco River, Saco’s beaches never get too crowded and enjoy the warmest swimming water in Maine.
The Neighborhoods
FERRY BEACH
The Ferry Beach neighborhood is a private, family-oriented area that sits along Ferry Beach State Park. It has direct access to the park’s walking and bike trails and residents enjoy unmatched proximity to its beautiful, sandy beach.
CAMP ELLIS
Directly next to Ferry Beach is the Camp Ellis, a historic fishing neighborhood that anchors the seven-mile stretch of Saco Bay’s sandy shores. Here, you can stop by Camp Ellis General Store for some ice cream, walk the jetty, and visit Huot’s for the best seafood around.
