Trip to Maine - Post #10: Long Sands Beach

Between our visit to the light house in York and Mount Agamenticus, we took a few hours and enjoyed our time hanging out at Long Sands Beach.


Sorry, this is a stock photo too. Not sure what happened to our pictures of the beach or maybe we didn't take any. Long Sands Beach, as the name suggests, is a very long beach in York, Maine. There's plenty of beach area to find a place to relax but parking is an issue. You can park in the paid meters for relatively cheap, but we drove up and down the road a couple of times and every street parking spot was filled. We ended up paying $20 to park in someone's yard. Oh well. 

Our main reason for visiting the beach was my 9 year old daughter. She insisted on a beach visit and nothing was stopping her. LOL! She had a blast in the water. My wife and me? Well, damn that water was cold! LOL! It may have been July and hot out, but it's northern Atlantic water and it was pretty cold! Didn't seem to faze my kiddo though! 

You can bring food onto the beach, but obviously make sure to haul away everything you bring. Beware of the seagulls! If you leave your food unguarded they will take it. We had to shoo a few birds away at times as they kept creeping closer to our food at lunch! 

There are many beaches along the southern coast and Long Sands Beach was a pretty good one.
