Higgins Beach, Sandy beach in Scarborough, United States.
Higgins Beach stretches for 0.6 miles along the Maine coast, featuring bedrock formations at Thunder Cove and the Spurwink River at its northeastern end.
The beach settlement grew around the Higgins Beach Inn, which opened in the 1920s and continues to accommodate visitors after renovations by the Migis Hotel Group.
The beach community maintains 300 cottages where numerous families return annually, creating strong generational bonds and preserving local traditions throughout decades.
Visitors can access a municipal parking lot with 75 spaces, and accommodations include two seasonal inns offering rooms starting from 144 dollars per night.
The beach contains the remains of a shipwreck embedded in its sands and provides excellent conditions for striped bass fishing and surfing activities.
