These long, wide sandy beaches are located along Beach Avenue, off Routes 9 & 35 and offer the perfect place to walk, sun yourself, play in the surf, look for sand dollars or just enjoy the sight of the waves rolling into shore. The string of beaches, some sandy, some rocky, that stretch along Beach Avenue from Gooch's Beach past Lord's Point are all connected by sidewalks — a feature that makes this great stretch of seaside a favorite with walkers and joggers. 

You can drive to and park in the available parking spots along the stretch of Kennebunk beaches. However, beach passes are required to park at the beach. Residents can purchase their passes at our Town Hall. Visitor passes (non-resident) for a day, a week or for the season are available at kiosks located on each of the three (3) beaches or the Town Hall. 

There are lifeguards on duty at Gooch's Beach and Mother's Beach from mid-June through early September. 

Mother's Beach is equipped with an ADA compliant Mobi-Mat. This durable, ADA compliant, woven polyester mat, allows for access from the parking area to the beach for individuals with mobility challenges. A beach wheelchair is also available for rent through our Parks and Recreation Department.
