GREAT FOR A LONG WALK WITH THE DOGS

Parsons Beach was virtually deserted when we visited with our son's whippets. They LOVED the freedom to race about safely

A secret beach we had no idea about

We fully know that Kennybunkport is a tourist area but we decided to spend a day there in the wonderful Indian summer to make a change to Moody beach in Ugunquit. 10 coaches in the carpark made us abort any plans to visit beaches in...More

Beautiful beach!

Very nice beach. Too bad that in the summer you can't surf during the day. Early morning and later in the day only.

Great beach

Parson's Beach is a great, wide beach, and kept uncrowded by the relative lack of parking. If you can find a place to park along Parson's Beach Road, you are in luck and will enjoy this beach a lot.

Paradise is near

A wonderful gem of a beach in Kennebunk Me. Situated on Rt. 9 between Kennebunkport and Ogunquit. If you get there early enough you will find free parking, pass by a horse farm on a road lined by shaded trees. The beach has many different...More

Get there early for parking or you will have to park about a mile down the road. You are able to drop of your belongings at the beginning of the path to the beach. There is a porta potty at the beginning of the path...More

Fave beach at Kennebunkport

Parking is very limited but beyond that it is really pretty, feels somewhat secluded because you can't see the road from the beach, and the rocks all over the beach make for some great photos. It's very large and walkable, too. Definitely prefer this to...More

Lovely place!

It is privately owned but the owners share the beach if you are respectful. Beautiful strip of beach, very VERY limited parking (maybe 15 cars parallel), but it is worth the quiet, rocky, salty privacy. Travel down a field and tree lined road to get...More

Picturesque spot for sun, walks or picnics

We have a strong emotional attachment because this was my Mother's favorite beach when her family had a Summer house in nearby Kennebunkport. The parking is sparse & there are no facilties nearby. The beach is actually private but beachgoers are allowed as long as...More
