Settlers established Scarborough on Maine’s coast in the mid 1600s, and since then residents and tourists alike have enjoyed its majestic coastline, pristine beaches, and natural surroundings.
Visitors to our Scarborough hotels can head to the beach for fishing and surfing or to Scarborough Marsh for kayaking and bird watching. For more wildlife watching options, guests at Scarborough hotels can visit the Scarborough River Wildlife Sanctuary or the Scarborough Beach State Park for summer and winter sporting diversions.
