About Scarborough, Maine

Just minutes from both South Portland and Old Orchard lies the community of Scarborough, a community nestled by the sea with breathtaking oceanside views.  Scarborough has rolling hills and green pastures inside and pristine white-sand beaches outside, it’s easy to see why this place has become home to so many. And it doesn’t stop there—with opportunities in real estate abound in every corner of town, it only takes some time before you find what suits you best!  The Scarborough March encompasses a 3,000 acre wetland. This wetland is not only a prime spot for all sorts of outdoor recreation – kayaking, camping, biking – but it also serves an invaluable ecological function for the state. The expansive marshes act as buffers for the coastlines and rivers, managing land-based erosion and keeping Maine’s coasts healthy and strong. Tidal estuaries connect these vast stretches of mudflats and salt marshes so there are plenty of winding channels leading right up onto the shoreline where you can observe the soft sand dunes or walk the sandy beaches while they take in all this amazing scenery.

With many wonderful seafood choices in Scarborough, you’re sure to find just what you’re looking for. Stop by the Rising Tide for fried haddock sandwiches or bouillabaisse – they’re perfect. How about Maine’s first lobster roll? Try it at Bayley’s Lobster Pound! There are many amazing restaurants here too like El Rayo Taqueria which offers inspired Mexican cuisine.
