Visitor Reviews of Fortunes Rocks Beach


Max from UNITED STATES writes:

White sandy beach with lifeguards on duty on summer days. Nice surf, great panoramic view of Atlantic. Very walkable, clean, with strands of violet sand mixing in near rocks. Great snorkelling around tidal rocks. Overall, the nicest beach in Maine; it's where the locals go to avoid tourist trap and overcrowded Old Orchard and York beaches.
Parking permits required in season.
