Goochs Beach

Beach Avenue, off routes 9 & 35 These long, wide sandy beaches are the perfect place to walk, sun yourself, play in the surf, look for sand dollars or just enjoy the sight of the waves rolling into shore. There are lifeguards and porta-potties at both Gooch's Beach and Mother's Beach from July through Labor Day. Mother's Beach has a new playground open to the public. While visitors are welcome at these beaches, a permit to park at the beach is required June 15 to September 15. Day, weekly and seasonal passes are available at Kennebunk Town Hall (residents) and at electronic kiosks at the beaches.
