Things to do in Saco, Maine.
Historic Main Street, mill-district revival, and a short walk to the beach.
Ferry Beach State Park, Bay View, and Kinney Shores cover the ocean. The Saco River runs right through downtown for kayaking, tubing, and summer paddles down to Camp Ellis. The Eastern Trail crosses town for cyclists, and you're 10 minutes from Pine Point and the Scarborough Marsh.
Saco is the quintessential Southern Maine downtown — a wide brick Main Street, the Pepperell Mill district reborn as restaurants, breweries, and lofts, and beaches like Ferry Beach and Bay View just a few minutes east. It's walkable, it's working, and it has one of the best small-city revivals in New England happening right now.
