So I considered not posting this beach because its my favorite surfing spot for summer. White sand beach with long walks in either direction. If you head south you can walk up to the Black Point Inn and have a drink, or lunch on the beautiful deck. Make sure you bring your shoes!
The beach lot is extremely busy in the summer; expect to wait in line ! Cost is per person and rates vary from season but usually around $8/ Adult
There is also a local beach food truck "Mainley Burgers" that serves great hamburgers and fries.

Great local trail to breath in the fresh air. Take a hike through the woods, past ponds and a small water fall. You might even spot turtles sunning themselves, or ducklings going for their first swim!
Dogs are allowed but only in morning until 9 and afternoon after 5pm. Get lost and relax....

The artist Winslow Homer created many beautiful Maine landscape paintings depicting the raw ocean and its beauty. Homers works are truly a gem to see. His inspiration was Prouts Neck, where The Black Point Inn (established 1878) is located.
We love to take a walk there from Scarborough Beach state park and have a drink, lunch, or both. This is truly a hidden gem. After lunch/brunch you may want to take the cliff walk around Prout's Neck. Gorgeous scenery.
