York, Maine

Positioned where the York River meets the Atlantic Ocean, about 7 miles north of New Hampshire, York, Maine retains the look and flavor of an 18th-century village. Four small New England communities including Cape Neddick, York Harbor, York Village, and York Beach unite to form the beautiful and diverse town of York, Maine. From the old-time carousel and arcades of York Beach to the tranquil headwaters of the York River and the stately mansions of York Harbor, York truly is an ideal place to live or vacation--for all reasons and in all seasons. York boasts miles of sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and boating anchorages, all just an hour from Boston.

Cape Neddick

Located between York Beach and the town of Ogunquit, Maine, Cape Neddick is a residential community boasting the gorgeous Cape Neddick Beach, antiques, shopping, and dining. Known for its rocky and scenic Shore Road, Cape Neddick is a highly desirable location with beautiful oceanfront, ocean view, and riverfront properties.

York Beach

Resembling a Victorian family resort with shops and restaurants, York Beach is comprised of Long Sands Beach and Short Sands. In between the beaches is Nubble Point. Just off the point is the famous Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse.

York Harbor

A beautiful residential area featuring numerous grand oceanfront homes, estates, and the splendid York Harbor Beach, York Harbor is a pristine area of York offers fine dining, marina, wharfs, and beaches.

York Village

York Village, a charming downtown area, serves as the home for the Museums of Old York, dedicated to the promotion and preservation of historic York. Incorporated in 1652, many of York Village’s original homes remain intact.
