Ocean Park was founded in 1881 and has 138 years of history and heritage. It is an opportunity for people of all ages and families of all sizes to vacation and learn, to worship and play, to enjoy and celebrate. It is a retreat to the quiet of the pines and the beach where the spirit is renewed, and life is affirmed.
Year after year, families spend their vacations here enjoying all the amenities Ocean Park and the surrounding areas have to offer. Our beachside community is located on one of the best beaches in Maine. Its’ seven miles of white sands and beachside cottages allows for long strolls, surfing, fishing or just relaxing in your beach chair as the sun comes and goes. There is also a historic district that includes several of our buildings that offer recreational, religious, cultural and educational activities throughout the summer.
Our local businesses have been in operation for many years. The Soda Fountain is a long-standing tradition for families looking for their regular ice cream cone visit. The Ocean Park Deli and Grocery has great breakfast sandwiches and cinnamon buns. Not to mention, Cottage Designs, where you can get a piece of Ocean Park memorabilia. Old Orchard Beach is no more than a couple miles down the road where you can visit the amusements and the famous Pier. We are 15 miles south of Portland, which has been awarded a popular foodie city with many wonderful restaurants of your choice.
Once you visit Ocean Park, you are sure to return with your family and friends.
