Old Orchard Beach is located in Southern Maine and is one of the most popular destination for local “stay-cationers”. It’s also a great vacation destination for people visiting the Pine Tree State. Old Orchard Beach, pic by jennratonmort Miles of white sandy beaches along the cool Atlantic ocean are lined with bed and breakfasts, motels, inns, bars, restaurants, and shopping. The focal point of the area is the OOB Pier (you’ve gotta get the pier fries!), and the beachfront Palace Playland amusement park.

However, the entire area really comes alive during the “tourist” months, between Memorial Day in May and Labor Day in September. Much of the Pier, the amusement park, and surrounding area are only open during these months. This is a great destination to bring the kids, who will of course gravitate toward Palace Playland and the many arcades.
