Ferry Beach in Scarborough derives its name from historic ferry crossings in the area, creating a sandy beach on the southern Maine coast between Pine Point and Prouts Neck. This Scarborough beach provides ocean access and swimming opportunities along the Atlantic coastline characteristic of the town's extensive shoreline system.
The beach offers family-friendly swimming and beachcombing with typical Maine beach activities including tide pool exploration and sunbathing. Visitors can enjoy the natural coastal environment while accessing nearby amenities and attractions throughout Scarborough's beach community stretching from the Scarborough River to the Spurwink River.
Scarborough dining includes Ken's Place for classic Maine fried clams and lobster rolls served for nearly 100 years, Bayley's Lobster Pound for fresh lobsters from the tank and creamy chowders, and The Bait Shed on the scenic waterfront for crab cakes and shrimp scampi flatbread served since 2012 in this family-owned establishment.
