Our Cape house is just steps to the ocean and Maine's famous 7 miles of sandy beach. There is a short walk to historic Camp Ellis, where the Saco River meets the ocean- a quaint fishing harbor with a mile long jetty where you will find a few restaurants, kayak rentals, whale watching tour boats and a public boat launch. We are across the road from Ferry Beach State Park with ponds and trails for walking, running or biking. We are three miles south of Old Orchard Beach with amusements and gift shops; 6 miles to Funtown, a theme park and water park; and 10 minutes to major supermarkets. Heading north about 20 miles is the city of Portland followed by Freeport, with its outlet shopping and LL Bean home store. A 30 minute drive south is the fabulous outlet shopping in Kittery with Kennebunkport and Ogunquit as side trips. The towns of Saco and Biddeford have grocery and convenience stores, and unique shops just a few minutes from the house. Golf and tennis are also available nearby.
