Wells beach
10 Natalia Vega

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting one of my most beloved beaches with my fiance, who was experiencing the vastness of the ocean for the first time. Although I use a wheelchair, I was able to enjoy the amenities of this location, including a seafood restaurant, an ice cream shop, an arcade, and accessible bathrooms. Unfortunately, I couldn't access the sandy beach at this specific spot on Mile Road, but I know that other areas are more wheelchair-friendly. For those who arrive early, parking is readily available. We are already planning our return trip tomorrow to take in all the sights and sounds of this beautiful beach.

North beach
8 Roller Guy

This beach is perfect for leisurely strolls and shallow water activities. The parking is ample and there is plenty of room to maintain social distancing during low tide. The stunning rocks and sand add to the picturesque scenery. Although we didn't witness many waves during our visit, we did spot several surfers enjoying the water.

York Harbor beach
10 Lakshmi Patel.

This is my go-to spot! The beach is fantastic, not too big and typically not too packed. You'll find more locals than tourists since there isn't much parking available for tourists nearby. Just be mindful of high tide as it can reach the rocks.

Long Sands beach
8 Nikolai VASILIEV.

The beach offers a pristine and unspoiled stretch of sand, albeit slightly slim. The influx of visitors during favorable weather conditions is a common sight. Public restrooms and changing rooms are conveniently located for beachgoers. However, the parallel parking on the street comes at a price and fills up quickly on weekends. Scattered along the street are a handful of quaint food stalls that offer quick bites for those in need of a snack.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 24.5°C and the water temperature up to 18.2°C. The coldest month is February, with the air temperature dropping down to 1.8°C and the water temperature down to 4.3°C.
