Ferry Beach State Park

Ferry Beach State Park
95 Bayview Rd
207-283-0067

A stand of tupelo (black gum) trees, rare at this latitude, can be seen in this 100-acre area, which offers a sweeping view of miles of white sand beaches between the Saco River and Pine Point.

Long before highways were common north of Boston, beaches provided travelers relatively safe and easy transportation routes. A ferry crossing at nearby Saco River served beach travelers, and thus Ferry Beach State Park received its name.

A picnic area, nature trails, a nature center providing guided nature programs, and changing room are available.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach from April 1st through September 30th.
