Reviews of Ferry Beach State Park (Tourist Attraction)

Amanda Asselin

Very beautiful spot. I went before tourists got here so it was peaceful not sure if it's the same in the summer

Simon Socolow

Awesome place to come in the summer. Many friends come to have a good time here.

Jessica Stuart Harris

Blessed beach

Thin Mint

Fantastic people, beautiful area, it can get really expensive though!

Linda Cross

Beautiful place by the ocean. Not crowded, it feels private.

Erin W

Had a nice walk but there's no trail map so I felt like I was just wandering around.

Sharon Kelley

Great place for a family day. Beautiful view and great walking beach.

Adam K

It’s a very nice park and beach. I just didn’t like that the park ranger was staring at my group of friends for over half hour and was not paying attention to anyone else on the beach. We were not drinking anything with alcohol but may have built sand castles and had some fun in the sun and surf. I watched and worked on my tan.

Clean, safe and peaceful are my first thoughts of Ferry beach state park. Plenty of parking and a nice walking bath to the beach. About 400 yards from the parking area.

Nice

Mandy Rowe

My favorite beach in the area. Restrooms close by. Beautiful beach

Dwight Corning

This beach is never crowded even on a hot July day. If you're not into big waves, this place is great. We just lazily floated on the salt water without any swim things. We had a very relaxing morning, and picnic lunch on the beach. I was pleased at the staff working there. They each greeted us warmly; and they were often seen sweeping the boardwalk or picking litter of the beach. There are feet washing stations, but no showers. However, everything was tidy and pleasant.

Jessica Cleary

Way too expensive. 7 dollars per person. Not sure what the amenities are, didn't want to pay.

Julie Flaherty

There is a long stretch of very nice beach. Not too crowded. Walking paths

Spent a beautiful day here with my mother for her birthday as part of a weekend getaway. The beach is gorgeous, although the water was too cold for us. And the walking trails through the woods are very easy. We appreciated all of the picnic tables available for our lunch.

Small beach, but never overly crowded. Friendly park staff. The water is great for swimming.

Doris Gaumont

Have enjoyed this state park for many years, the property and buildings are always clean and the staff is very personable. Excellent place to enjoy the day.

Ashlei42

Only have been there once. Great access, loved the beach, which I didn't have to pay for and they have restrooms near the entrance. But when I called to ask questions about the park they weren't very friendly. Also very difficult to find parking once there parking lots are full and you have to pay to park in most of the them. (That's why Overall I gave it a 3 star) But because my daughter and me liked the beach I do plan on going again so I will take a taxi next time to avoid having to deal with the parking issues.

Mark Burton

Nice walk for us and our pup

Evan Grover

Been my favorite beach since I was a kid. Always clean, plenty of parking, and not as crowded.

blake wilson

Lovely place to bring your children and pets

Darcy Payne

Well kept

Pamela Ames

After the hubbub of OOB, this park provided a wonderful respite. Beginning with the lovely walk along the boardwalk and continuing onto the uncrowded beach with a welcoming seabreeze, Ferry Beach provided a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. I went for a long walk toward OOB and was happy to return to our area with plenty of space.

Charles Kimmet

Very wide sand beach at low tide. Many shell's to find.

Great State park.

Stephen Bishop

Beautiful State Park. Its one of maine's national treasure. The best part of this park is that it is situated in Saco, not heavyly trafficed by tourist which makes for a nicer pleasent atomsphere. The park is well kept and has picnic tables with grills in most areas. There is a large group pavilion which needs to be booked in advance but appears to seat alot. The park has plenty of parking.

Chris Champagney

Always awesome!

Thomas Janzo

Beauty and peaceful.

Stephen Thompson

Pretty little park. $5 a person to enter (you pay at the parking lot). Has a nice little beach right on the ocean as well. No pets allowed on the beach, just on the boardwalk. Some nice hiking trails that are pet and kid friendly through the woods near the ocean and around a lake.

Jim LeVasseur

Dogs belong on beaches. I think this is one of the few that doesn't allow them.

Jeffrey Toffic

Several nice short easy walking trails plus access to a really nice beach. It also has a nice nature center.

Kevin Pinette

Really refreshing. Overlooking the ice pond with sun in your face thanx mother nature.

Arnold Smith

beach is nice but hard to access parking

Robert Clark

Nice place to relax . If you have a free life time veterans state park pass you get in free. Off season doesn't matter entry is free anyway.

Gabe Potter

Great place ! Clean. Picnic areas. Beach area. Nature trails. $5 admission for the day for adults. Pets are allowed in the park but not on the beach itself. Friendly staff. Awesome historic location. A staple here in Southern Maine.

Chris Payne

Great place for a vacation break at the beach. Away from the crowds up the beach across the creek. Parking can be challenging at busy times after the parking lot fills.

Christopher Plebani

Great state park right on the beach. A few nice trails to hike also

Excellent place to enjoy a day at the ocean....Low tide provides rocks to climb and search for hermit crabs and star fish. Not very packed and has a life guard within a certain distance. Paid parking. Very clean and pristine.

Tina Poitras

Great place, love it.

M Hallett

Closed but we parked at the gate and walked the 1/2 mile in and out. Low low tide and found lots of cool shells. Nice sand , view of OOB.

jay allard

Nice and quiet,nice views,pretty clean

Emily C. Jones

Bring heavy duty bug spray! Other than the mosquitoes, the trails are delightful. Lots of trails are boardwalks and they're all short and easy. There's beach access here and public restrooms. There are fees to enter.

Wayne Harper

Best State Park in the area!

Mike Frisco

A lots of fun with my daughter and my granddaughter

Damian Palmer

Beautiful beach with amazing views. Good for a run or walk along the beach

david

Among the nicer of the dog-friendly beaches in the area: with nice sand and a great stretch to walk along. In late summer it doesn't seem overcrowded, even on the weekends. Gem!

Lisa Bilowith

Love this beach!!

Fred Williams

Small, yet clean and beautiful little part. Nice, easy beach access as well.

W. P.

The park looks amazing, however, we were surprised by the price to get in as we are not local. It would have cost us $28 just to go to the beach. We went middle of the afternoon , so it wasn't worth the price so we turned around. Next time we would go early, to enjoy a full day of a beach that is not as crowded and has parking and washrooms.

STMARTIN009

The parking was only $7 and was not as crowded as Old Orchard Beach

Leah Twitchell

Beautiful place to swim and lay out.

It was a great beach, dogs are allowed, it's meter parking, 2 dollars an hour or 10 dollars for the day.

Harold Blaisdell

Love this beach!

Nik Mirage

I love it here! You typically have more room to run around, probably because there aren't many parking spots. Even so, it's very clean and nice. I recommend this spot to anyone looking to relax and get away from the crowd without getting too far away from anything exciting.

Gretchen Benggio

Love love spending our 4th here! Clean, quiet, and fabulous facilities. Water was not the frigid Maine we are used to and clear water! We will be back!

Crystal Harriman

Clean beach, ample parking, well maintained

Scott Anderson

Beautiful state park, love it here.

Megan Beeler

It's not a well-known beach so it is hardly ever crowded. The kids love it here. You park at the state park and walk a short nature trail to the beach. The state park has a small nature center and other trails to walk on. Parking is plenty affordable and there is tons of it. They have bathrooms and a place to wash off as well as a water fountain to drink from.

Sonia Bermonty

Nice beach but there's a long path to beach can be a pain if you have lots of stuff to bring views were pretty sand was clean and there were some other things at this location to do as well

Vivian M.

Great clean sandy beach for families. I think the picnic area is too far from the beach area for older folks or disabled people to traverse more than once. But the shady picnic area , easy hiking trails, and the sandy beach makes it a great place to to spend an afternoon or a whole hot summer day.

Janet Goba

Beautiful trails. Great for walking the dog!

Lovely beach! We saw just a few people walking. We enjoyed walking along a short path which led to a pond just before we found the path to the beach. There were also some very clean bathrooms which were helpful for my 5yr old daughter.

Beautiful alternative to the busy peer at OOB. Parking is way cheaper.

Roselyn Zuyeali VERKOUILLE

Lived in Scarborough. Ferry Beach was like 10 miles. One of the most beautiful relaxing and enjoying beach. This was many years ago. Hopefully it will be somewhat the same. Loved it. Beach Power.

We only spent time at the beach, which was very clean and pretty. The walk from the parking lot to the beach isn't short, but it's lovely.
