About This Beach
Long Sands Beach in York, Maine, is a long, sandy beach situated right next to a public road, offering easy access but often leading to parking challenges, especially during peak season. The beach is known for its relatively smooth sand, decent waves suitable for surfing and boogie boarding, and stunning views, including the Nubble Lighthouse in the distance. Facilities include restrooms, changing rooms, and occasional lifeguard presence, though the amount of sand available varies significantly with the tide.
