Maine’s Best-Kept Secret Awaits You in Biddeford

Nestled along the Atlantic coast between the Saco River and Kennebunkport is your perfect Southern Coast of Maine vacation destination. Biddeford, the earliest permanent settlement in Maine’s history and the 6th largest city in the state, offers astoundingly beautiful landscapes and vistas as well as convenience to the South Coast’s other treasures.

While you’re only a stone’s throw away from a wide array of cultural activities and spectacular shopping of Kittery and Kennebunkport and the fun and excitement of Old Orchard Beach, once you settle in to your oceanfront home in Biddeford, you may wonder why you would want to do anything other than relax and enjoy the spectacular views. The coastline offers miles of sandy white beaches framed by rocky outcroppings, and the salt marshes and estuaries of the area offer refuge to the amazing variety of wildlife. Local gems, such as the historic Wood Lighthouse and the Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve, are within easy reach.

Bring along your fishing tackle and toss a line in from the shore or along the banks of the Saco River, and see if you can catch the evening’s dinner. Or, if you’d rather hit the links, there are plenty of golfing options nearby. Take a historic tour through Biddeford’s revitalized downtown area, or catch a show at the City Theatre for the Performing Arts. Whether your perfect New England vacation includes these activities or the standard fare of beach activities, such as swimming, boating, or surfing, Biddeford has you covered.
