Beach days

Perfect beach spot. Plan to go for the day or half a day! Scarborough, ME 20ish min drive from Portland. State Park so you have to pay to get in but have a good amount of parking

I’m a beach girl so always looking for new places to explore. Slim parking but street parking is available on the side streets nearby if you don’t mind walking a little
