"Incorporated in 1652, York is the second oldest town in Maine. Now a classic summer vacation destination, Long Sands Beach is a great option for travelers coming from the south, as the beach sits close to the New Hampshire border. York Beach Village is home to The Goldenrod, a classic soda fountain offering more than 100 flavors of ice cream and homemade candy, plus a number of hotels (including the newly opened York Beach Surf Club) and a seaside arcade. Long Sands Beach is one mile long and between York Harbor and York Beach. There's a large parking lot with metered parking, as well as a public restroom facility." - Travel + Leisure Editors
