Drive times are approximate and based on normal traffic conditions. Summer weekends on Route 1 and the OOB area can add 10–20 minutes. Plan accordingly on Friday afternoons in July and August.
A Good Base for Southern Maine
We are not on the beach — and that is part of the point. You are close enough to walk or drive to Old Orchard Beach in minutes, but you are not in the middle of the summer crowd when you are trying to sleep.
Free parking on site. Hot breakfast in the morning. A quiet spot to come back to after a day at Palace Playland or a long drive up from Boston.
A Few Miles Makes a Difference
Old Orchard Beach is one of New England's most popular summer destinations — which means the strip can get crowded in July and August. Staying in Saco gives you everything within reach while keeping you a few minutes away from the thick of it.
Old Orchard Beach
Seven miles of sand, a working pier, Palace Playland, and the Atlantic. The most visited beach in Maine.

Visit Portland →Kennebunkport
