The Dunes on the Waterfront

Picturesque Waterfront Cottages

This collection of white clapboard cottages with green shutters fronts onto a tidal river and one of Maine's best beaches. No rocky shoreline here; instead, white sands slope gradually into the ocean making it an ideal place for children to play in the water. A trolley or a short walk takes you from the cottages to town, where shops, restaurants, galleries, and the local theater provide holiday entertainment.
