Welcome to Higgins Beach, one of Maine's best kept secrets. Small and quiet, with a spectacular 1/2 mile beach, it's only a short drive to Portland and its popular "Old Port" restaurants and shops.

With its silky sand and smooth expanse at low tide, the beach is framed on one end by the Spurwink River and Cape Elizabeth, and on the other end by rocky outcroppings and tidal pools harboring crabs, starfish and other ocean treasures, to the delight of generations of children. Beyond the cliffs one can see Scarborough Beach and Prouts Neck.

What you can't see is how close our cottages are to the beach. There are just 3 houses between you and the ocean. It's also just a short walk to the Higgins Beach General Store or the Higgins Beach Market. Garofalo's Restaurant in the Higgins Inn is another favorite spot.
