Old Orchard Beach
Old
Orchard Beach has been a seaside vacation haven for centuries. Our seven
mile stretch of sand and the famous landmark Pier in the center have brought
sunshine and smiles to generations of families. Old Orchard Beach is an
exciting resort town, with plenty to see and do, or you can do nothing at
all but sit on the beach and enjoy Maine’s natural beauty.
Old Orchard Beach is ideal for a family vacation. There truly is something
for everyone. First, there’s seven miles of sandy beach just yards away from
our Executive Motel. You could spend days exploring the sandy shore, sunning
yourself or walking the sandy strand, tossing a Frisbee or surfing in the
waves. You will quickly see why Old Orchard Beach is named Maine’s best
beach every year by local Mainers.
But
if you want more action and attractions – Old Orchard Beach is the place for
kids and the kid at heart. Our seaside amusement park, the last of its kind
in New England, has thrilling carnival rides, games, fried dough and cotton
candy, waterslides, arcades, even a beautiful hand-painted century-old
Carousel. Palace Playland is located on the beach, so you can see the sea
while you ride the Ferris Wheel.
The Pier is the centerpiece of the beach and the hub of all things fun in
Old Orchard Beach. Restaurants, nightclubs, and shops line the historic Pier
that juts out over the water. The people watching at Old Orchard Beach’s
Pier is the best, the fireworks every Thursday night are even better.
If
you are looking for the quieter side of Maine, then you can kayak or canoe a
scenic salt water marsh, Scarborough Marsh is just a short drive away with
plentiful wildlife and birds. Or visit a working fishing village at Pine
Point and explore the jetties and tidal rivers as you fish for striped bass.
If you long for an old fashioned seaside community complete with an
authentic soda fountain, then visit the quaint town of Ocean Park.
Just
a short drive from the Executive Motel, you will also find championship golf
courses, mini-golf, movie theatres, and more amusement parks and water
parks.
Old Orchard Beach offers more than you can do in week, but remember you can
also come to the Executive Motel and do nothing at all – just enjoy the
beach and our heated outdoor swimming pool.
