Local Attractions | The Sunrise Motel

1. Sunrise Walk on Long Sands Beach

Right outside of the Sunrise Motel, Long Sands Beach is one of the largest beaches in Southern Maine at 1.5 miles, with beautiful walks, especially at sunrise. For longer walks, head south towards York Harbor and the Cliff Walk, then head to historic York and visit the various museums. Click here for more information on York Beach Walks.
2. Surfing

Even if it is just body-surfing, riding the waves is fun, and the waves on Long Sands Beach are usually good. Just down the road from the motel is a surf shop called Liquid Dreams. You can rent surfing equipment and wetsuits if you require – it make you feel like you’re 10. Click Here for more information on York Beach Surfing at Liquid Dreams.
3. Pictures of Nubble Lighthouse

One of the most photographed lighthouses in Southern Maine, Nubble Lighthouse doesn’t disappoint. It is quintessential Maine. There is a nice walk from Short Sands Beach and back to the lighthouse. Click Here for more information on Nubble Lighthouse York ME
4. Historic York

Just 5 minutes south of York Beach, Historic York is a destination in itself. Click here for more information on Historic York Maine
5. Shopping at the Kittery Outlets ME

Just 15 minutes south of York Beach, Kittery is a destination in itself. For some reason, Kittery does have the lowest prices around, and a ton of stores. Click here for more information on Kittery Outlet Shopping in Southern Maine

What a lovely time we had at this hotel. The location was absolutely perfect and the room was extremely comfortable. Everything we needed was in the room, and having a fridge and cook-top made it very convenient. When we return to York Beach, we will return to the Sunrise Motel. Thanks!
We've enjoyed our visits thoroughly for the last 4 years. We like coming when the crowds thin out and we always do the "mid-week chill out" and treat ourselves to an extra night, always. Clean, welcoming, affordable and a nice view. Thanks for being there! Quenneville"s VT
