Review:
When tourists think of Maine beaches, they typically imagine large oceanfront swathes of sand, saltwater coves, and possibly wooded areas nearby. All of these, and more, can be found at Crescent Beach State Park, which originally opened to the public in 1966 and is located a short eight miles south of Portland, Maine.
Guests to Crescent Beach can expect sand dunes to explore, crisp ocean breezes, picnic areas, swimming opportunities, and plenty of fishing boats to watch during the day. During the offseason this park is closed to vehicles, so plans should be made accordingly when visiting during the colder months. Crescent Beach State Park Map
