Located at the bottom of Eastern Promenade’s hill, visitors can find the city’s only public beach—East End Beach. While beachgoers can enjoy the sand-and-pebble shoreline or go for a dip in calm Atlantic waters, the scenery is arguably one of the best features this beach has to offer. It’s hard not to be overcome by peace and wonder with the breathtaking, panoramic views of Casco Bay, making this an enjoyable stop for even non-swimming visitors. With a walk along the shore or the Eastern Promenade Trail, onlookers can catch undisrupted views of various islands alongside sailboats gliding in and out of the harbor. The occasional seal and other wildlife may also be spotted along the picturesque shore.
