About This Beach
Gooch's Beach in Kennebunkport, ME, is a popular sandy beach known for its surfing waves and dog-friendly policies (during specific hours). The beach offers scenic views, but parking can be a major challenge, especially during peak season, leading to expensive parking permits and potential fines. While generally clean, amenities are basic, with porta-potties as the primary restroom option. The high tide significantly reduces the beach's usable space.
