About Crescent Beach State Park

A mile-long, crescent-shaped beach on the Atlantic Ocean forms the main draw for swimming and sunbathing. The park also offers fishing and sea kayaking access to the water, along with trails used for hiking and cross-country skiing. It sits in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, on the coast rather than inland.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
