Old Orchard BeachAs its name suggests, Old Orchard Beach's most popular
attraction is its seven mile (11km) stretch of sand, one of the
best beaches in Maine. The town is a popular excursion for families
in the summer, and ads to the entertainment with a seaside
amusement park and weekly fireworks shows. Other popular activities
include surfing, canoeing, and clamming. A direct seasonal train
link from Boston and Portland make Old Orchard Beach easy to get
to, however holiday weekends can be uncomfortably crowded. |
