Gooch's Beach/Kennebunk Beach Details

Best at low tide due to the larger area, Gooch's Beach is the largest of the beaches in Kennebunk and is popular at all times year-round for surfers. There is a rock jetty here that visitors can walk out on to watch the busy boats of the harbor moving in and out too, and many beachgoers enjoy hanging out in the surf to search for crabs and other sea creatures. Be sure to head back in during high tide though, as a lot of the beach tends to disappear. Facilities: Restrooms
