The 11 Best Beaches in Maine
"Per its name, Crescent Beach is a mile-long, crescent-shaped sandy beach, and its less than 10 miles from Portland. There are kayak rentals, restrooms and showers, walking trails, grills, picnic tables, and even the occasional food or ice cream truck. Because it’s a state park, the hours of operation are more limited than other beaches, but the soft sand and calmer waves make up for it." - Travel + Leisure Editors
