Favorite beach in Maine?
Hi ladies,
I usually post on The Bump but I was referred over here. DH and I are planning a trip at the end of the month. We want to go to a beach in Maine (we are from Upstate NY) but we are undecided about where to go. We went to Old Orchard Beach last year and DH wants to go back, but I'm trying to convince him that there are other (nicer?) towns/beaches to see. (He is a creature of habit). I am looking at Ogunquit, York & Wells.
Can anyone over some insight onto which beach towns you prefer? We have a 2 year old so we are looking for family friendly, affordable, nice beach & plenty to do. We'll be there maybe 5 days, and I don't want to get bored. We want to swim, so we aren't looking to go too far north. (We've been to OOB quite a few times & that water temp, although cold, is do-able for us).
We also plan to spend one day in Portland, so it would be nice if it was close-ish, but that's not a necessity. (Also, if you want to recommend any family friendly must-sees in Portland that would be great).
Thanks ladies!

Re: Favorite beach in Maine?
I responded on the other post, but wanted to mention if you end up at Ft. Williams/Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth, be sure to bring some kites. There is always great wind there. We tried to fly some yesterday, but unfortunately they were crappy quality and broke in the first 2 minutes there. I just bought some better ones today so next time we will hopefully have better luck
There is a really nice playground there and lots of open spaces to walk and play ball.

Love Higgins!! Crescent isn't bad, either.
Fort Williams is pretty much my favorite place in the world, but not for swimming
