YORK BEACH IS UNIQUE in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. We have our gazebo near the ocean where you can listen to live music many nights a week plus arcades and bowling. For those of us looking for more mature amusement, there are a few nicely appointed bars within an easy walk where you can sit outside and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage along with the sights and sounds of our beachside town.

If you do want some day trip excursions, there is so much to do in our area! Here are some great ideas for family fun: Whale Watching out of York Harbor or Perkins Cove, day trip to Ogunquit to enjoy that 5 mile sandy beach, plus great restaurants and shopping, or play at one of two public golf courses in York.

York Village is robust with colonial history featuring historic museums where you can travel back in time. If you enjoy fresh or salt water fishing, there are plenty of locals who will offer deep water fishing or guided kayak excursions. There are also tennis courts, scuba diving and paddle boarding!

The Cliff House, located on Shore Road between York and Ogunquit, is a well known destination with a dramatic $100 million renovation completed in 2016. Enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in their gourmet dining.

If a theatre production is something you would enjoy during your vacation... well, we have it! Check out the Ogunquit Playhouse where nationally known stars perform throughout the summer. Portsmouth, NH (just over the border and about 10 minutes away) also has fine live theatre at the Music Hall.

Speaking of Portsmouth, let's not forget this wonderful small city. A unique seaside port town, it has, over the last decade, become a nationally recognized destination vacation spot on its own. Fine dining, live theatre, and unbelievable shopping attracts thousands of visitors each year.
