Beach-combing at Fortunes Rocks

Dec 2020 • Family

Beautiful, sunny and cold afternoon at the beach an hour and a half before low tide. Easy parking by the rock protected road. Maybe 8 people on the beach this time of year/day. Hunting for sea glass. Walked maybe a third of the beach. Warmer weather would definitely make for an all day stay.

Beautiful, but private beach

Oct 2017

We were able to park and see the lovely beach and ocean, but the beach is blocked off by some very large stones that line the highway and prevent all but the most agile from getting down to the water. There is an entrance pathway that has a sign noting that it is a private beach for the use of a homeowners association only.

Searching for sea glass!

Apr 2018 • Couples

Wish we could have gone at low tide. But, we still found some sea glass! Difficult to find beach entry but worth it.

NICE UNCROWDED BEACH

Jun 2017 • Solo

Driving along the ocean, I came to Fortunes Rocks Beach. At the parking area, there were signs stating that only permit parking was allowed May 1 – September 15 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. So, it was a limited access beach for non-residents.

It wasn’t crowded when I got there about 5:00 PM. I walked a bit to get a good look at it. This beach was well beyond the enormous Fortunes Rocks. It was a pretty nice beach. I rate it at 4.0.

Great beach, cold water

Jul 2018 • Family

We had a great time at Fortunes Rock Beach, visiting almost every day during our two week vacation here. At low tide there is a lot of exposed sand, and you get to really understand how you can walk out 20-40 yards into the water and still be standing.

We had great weather, if a little on the hot side with a few days in the mid 90’s ... this is not the Maine I have come to expect; and the weather was too perfect with slight breezes most of the time that left the ocean a little to calm. Most days body surfing was out, and bogie boarding was marginal, but if that is the price to pay for a great two weeks in Maine I am all for it.

Great location, I would love to come back to Biddeford Pool and Fortune Rocks Beach again.

Nice sandy beach

Jul 2016

Great beach with nice white sand. If you are driving distance away, get a parking pass at Biddeford City Hall. After 5, none is needed.

Love the long beautiful beach walk and amazing scenery!

Jul 2018 • Couples

We have been coming here for years and now live in the surround area. We always feel at peace, serene, peaceful and calm.
even if the ocean is rumbling , we see surfers relishing in the water and it makes it an interesting sight.
There is always a place to find tranquility and space for reflection in the middle of this beautiful open space. amazing photo opts.

Large beach

Jul 2018 • Family

We stopped here late morning to look for seaglass and my first thought is that it’s a “real” beach. The beaches in Kennebunkport were really small compared to this one. We saw surfers in the water as well. Note that there is permit parking only.

Beautiful Maine beach

Aug 2017 • Couples

I live about 8 miles away and I'm blessed to have this beach nearby. My wife and I visit often. The beach is right along the road and it bordered by huge rocks. There are 2 sets of stairs to get over the rocks or just climb over them as I do. At low tide the beach is huge and flat. Swimmers can go out quite far before even getting to their waist. Great for kids as it does not drop off quickly. During tides, waves can be a pretty good size for surfing or boogie boarding, or just having fun in the waves!
