Pine Point Beach derives its name from the pine-covered point at the outlet of the Scarborough River, creating a four-mile stretch of white sand extending from the jetty to Old Orchard Beach on Saco Bay. Located at the far north end of Saco Bay, this family-oriented beach offers a quieter alternative to the party atmosphere of Old Orchard Beach's boardwalk while sharing the same beautiful sandy coastline.
The beach provides swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing with public access at Avenue 5 featuring a municipal parking lot, restrooms, showers, and food vendors. Visitors enjoy the less crowded atmosphere compared to neighboring beaches while maintaining easy access to area attractions, with water quality monitored by Maine's Healthy Beaches program ensuring safe swimming conditions.
Pine Point dining includes Clambake Seafood Restaurant beside Maine's largest salt water marsh for fresh daily seafood deliveries, The Eastside Grill for creative coastal cuisine and wood-fired dishes, and nearby Old Orchard Beach restaurants including Joseph's by the Sea for ocean-view seafood after 50 years of operation.
