Biddeford Pool

Biddeford Pool is a beautiful coastal town here in southern Maine, along the banks of the Saco River near the Atlantic Ocean. It is the site of Maine’s first recorded permanent settlement, 1616-1617. It is about 6 miles southeast of the City of Biddeford and Kennebunkport is about 3 miles to the southwest. It is part of the Biddeford-Saco area, which includes several small, distinct villages, including Biddeford Pool. Here, you will find miles of unspoiled beaches, rolling hills, pastures and tranquil horse farms. Biddeford Pool is a large tidal pool off Saco bay – the lagoon is popular for sea kayakers. The public beach along Mile Stretch Road is a 2 mile stretch of white sand beaches surrounded by tall grass salt marshes that are home to a variety of birds and other wildlife.

Wood Island Lighthouse is a short boat ride from the mainland. Volunteers give a tour of the island and the lighthouse. East Point Sanctuary, situated at the tip of Biddeford Pool and the Maine Audubon Society maintains a .9 mile walking trail for visitors. This has been called the premier birding spot.

You can choose to dine indoors or out, or order take-out and picnic along the scenic rocky coastline. The beach at Biddeford Pool is a nice, quiet sandy beach and the view is just exquisite.
