Local Beaches

Goose Rocks Beach (King’s Highway, off Route 9)

At three miles long, Goose Rocks Beach is a favorite with walkers as well as the sand pail set. The beach is wide, smooth, sandy and affords wonderful views of Timber Island, just off the coast. Parking permits are required ($25/$100/$200; note that Kennebunk permits cannot be used here) and are available at Town Hall and the Goose Rocks General Store; there is also a ticket kiosk at the corner of Proctor and King’s Highway. For information, call the town hall at (207) 967-4243.

Colony Beach (off Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport) This beach is much appreciated by those who love to scramble on its rocks and watch the surf dash the shore. No parking permit is needed.
