Our Guide to York.
Beaches
Long Sands - To walk to Long Sands (our go-to!) take a left out of the driveway. Walk up down Ridge Road until you are able to cross the road onto Beacon Street. Head all the way down Beacon Street to Long Sands Beach. Pick your spot! We personally like to walk a bit to the north (take a left)
where the bath house is easily accessible and there is a ramp down to the sand - great for strollers and wagons. You can park along Long Sands in a meter spot, if you get there early enough.
Pay attention to the tide chart. At high tide, Long Sands loses a lot of available sand area. With the signifi cant tide changes, at low tide there’s an endless amount of beach available. We tend to plan our trips around the tide chart
and avoid high tide because the remaining available sand area becomes very crowded very quickly. But, either way, we suggest starting the day as close to the street as you can in anticipation of the incoming tide if you’re planning on sticking around for a while.

Short Sands - Short Sands is just over a mile from the house. We take long walks down there to hang out downtown and go to the playground but would suggest driving for a beach day. The parking lot at Short Sands is managed privately, be sure to pay attention to meter rules

York Harbor Beach requires a drive. But,
it is less busy. It is a bit more rocky. The beach has nice
connections to nearby parks and paths along the water.
Permit parking only at the actual beach.

Sightseeing
Mount Agamenticus
A nice easy/moderate hike through the woods.
A great option for walking around, seeing
York Harbor, and getting in a very easy but lovely hike
through Steedman Woods. Also connected to the Fisherman's Walk. Smallest suspension bridge in the world!
