York: Quintessential New England Charm

Start your summer adventure in York, where golden beaches and iconic lighthouses welcome you.

Be sure to visit the Nubble Lighthouse at Sohier Park, a picture-perfect backdrop for your summer selfies. The town center is alive with quaint shops and classic New England ice cream parlors to top off your day.

Wells: Nature Meets Nostalgia

Wells is a haven for nature lovers and history buffs alike. Miles of sandy beaches stretch along the shoreline, including Wells Beach and Drakes Island Beach—ideal for beachcombing or simply soaking in the coastal vibe. Nature enthusiasts will love exploring the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, where you can wander scenic trails or join a guided tour to spot local wildlife. Wrap up the day with fresh seafood at one of the local clam shacks—there’s nothing quite like it!

Ogunquit: A Coastal Artist’s Paradise

Ogunquit, meaning “beautiful place by the sea,” lives up to its name with an irresistible blend of art, coastal beauty, and small-town charm. Stroll along the Marginal Way, a mile-long cliff walk with dramatic ocean views, or explore Perkins Cove for boutique shopping and dockside dining. Ogunquit Beach’s wide sands and warm shallows are perfect for families, and its vibrant art scene—complete with galleries and live performances at the Ogunquit Playhouse—brings summer alive.
