Grand Beach derives its name from the expansive sandy shoreline characteristic of Scarborough's coastal beaches stretching along Saco Bay. This family-friendly beach serves as one of several beach access points in Scarborough, offering visitors opportunities to enjoy lazy afternoons on the beautiful southern Maine coast.

The beach provides swimming, sunbathing, and beach activities typical of Scarborough's well-maintained coastal recreation areas. Visitors can explore the sandy shoreline while enjoying the natural coastal environment and seasonal beach atmosphere that defines this southern Maine beach community between Portland and Old Orchard Beach.

Scarborough's dining scene includes The Bait Shed for waterfront crab cakes and relaxed atmosphere since 2012, Ken's Place for nearly 100 years of classic Maine seafood including fried clams and fisherman's platters, and Bayley's Lobster Pound for fresh lobsters, steamed mussels, and creamy chowders served in this traditional Maine lobster pound setting.
