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

I stayed with my mom at the Sunrise for the 1st time in May 2012, We loved it and could not wait to come back. We were back this weekend and just left today. Once again, we had a wonderful stay, clean room, wonderful staff and great meals at the Lobster Cove. I can't wait too come back, hopefully before the month is over. Lorrie
we just love the place cant wait we will be back tomorrow for fathers day weekend.Could not get a nicer place and location its a win win'''''''''''
This was our first visit to Maine. The Sunrise Motel was located in the best location of York for us. It is on the south end of Long Sand Beach. Restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is literally right across the road. The sunrise and sunset from our motel window was extraordinary, it drew us outside. When we go back to Maine, we will definitely stay at this motel again.
