Ferry Beach, Scarborough, ME — Attraction in Scarborough

This is such a nice beach! It has a very flat incline which makes a Great Beach for taking a stroll. Today when I visited, It was rather foggy . There were some people digging for clams at the oceans edge.

I saw a bicyclist with big fat narley tires, racing up and down its long shore line.

There was a woman who wrote 2022 in the sand with her hands, and was placing sand dollars all around it.

If you look at a few of my photo's, You might see little sand mounds at the shore line.

Ferry Beach is a great option for bringing the family to the ocean for some swimming, playing in the sand, or basking in the sun. It may not be as large as Higgins Beach or Pine Point, but is easily accessible and very enjoyable overall. At absolute high tide there is not a ton of beach to stand on, so things can get a little crowded. Parking can be difficult during peak times, with a long line stretching...
