Isolated, beautiful beach

Parsons Beach really is like a hidden beach unless you know about it or happen to be traveling on Route 9 and notice the sign for Parsons Beach Road. The beach is near the marshland by Mousam River. There's very limited parallel parking along the...More

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

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

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
