Long Sands · York Beach, Maine

Wake up to the Atlantic. Fall asleep to it, too.

A small, family-run motel and restaurant sitting right on the sand — the kind of place where the ocean is the view, the soundtrack, and the reason you came.

Open May through October

The Rooms

Simple, salt-air rooms. Right on the sand.

No wing that faces the parking lot. Every room here looks at, or steps out onto, the beach. That's the whole idea.

Oceanfront

Sand-side King

Sliding door opens straight to the beach. Sit outside with coffee at 6 AM and watch the tide roll in.

Two Queens

Family Ocean-View

Room for the kids, a private balcony over the dunes, and the best sunrise you'll get without a tent.

Suite

Cove Suite

Sitting room, kitchenette, and two Adirondack chairs on a private deck. Bring the book you never finish.

Sample room configurations — we'll swap in your real inventory, floor plans, and photos.

The Restaurant

Dinner where the waves are the wallpaper.

Our dining room is right off the sand — big windows, a raw bar, and a menu built around what the boats brought in that morning. Open to the public, but guests get first dibs on the sunset tables.

Bare feet in the sand at four. A cold beer at five. A plate of something that swam here yesterday at six. That's the whole plan.

Around Here

You'll walk more than you drive.

York Beach is the good kind of small — arcade, taffy, tide pools, and one very famous lighthouse — and it's all a stroll from your door.

Nubble Light

Ten minutes up the coast. The most photographed lighthouse in America, and worth every frame.

Long Sands Beach

A mile and a half of soft sand at your doorstep. Low tide reveals the tide pools kids remember forever.

Fun-O-Rama & Taffy

Skee-ball, salt water taffy, fried dough. The York Beach summer ritual, five minutes on foot.

Cape Neddick River

Rent a kayak, poke around the salt marsh, wave at a heron. Quiet water fifteen minutes away.
