Located in Cumberland County of Maine, the town of Scarborough is part of the state’s largest metropolitan area, yet far enough away from bustling Portland to offer an escape from busy city life. The impressive coastline features amazing ocean views, marshy areas, and sandy beaches. While Scarborough is known for its beaches, similar to many other coastal towns in Maine, there are a number of things to do in town as well. The charming town offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, as well as several places to get a delicious bit to eat.
