Kennebunk/port Beaches - Goochs Beach in Kennebunk or Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport. We recommend going early to get a parking spot and checking the tide schedule beforehand (High tide can significantly impact the amount of beach available). We also suggest checking with your hotel regarding access to and parking at town beaches. Parking can be limited or use a pass system. If you are staying at The Colony, you will have access to their private beach steps away from the hotel.
