This beautiful, sandy beach has plenty of parking and a charging station for electric vehicles. Scarborough State Beach has been expanded and now includes an entire south complex that has a viewing tower that overlooks some of the land and the water below.
- After doing some swimming, sun-bathing, or making huge sandcastles, you can head over to one of the two pavilions for an outdoor picnic.
- Don’t worry, if those are full, there are over 75 picnic tables to have lunch at. A lifeguard is on duty during certain hours.
- Once you are done with all the great activities for the day, everyone can wash off the sand and saltwater in the hot/cold showers located near the beach.
