York

The Yorks

• York Village – including the historic structures, and upscale shops
• York Harbor – with a number of inns, historic homes and large estates
• York Beach – with attractions such as a zoo, arcades, souvenir shops and stores
• Cape Neddick – mainly residences, best known for its lighthouse

During summer months, summer residents and tourists visit Short Sands Beach, which is in the district of York Beach itself, as well as Long Sands Beach, the town's longest with more than a mile of sand stretching between York Beach and York Harbor. A number of five-star hotels and other accommodations operate in the York Beach area, although most close after summer.

A number of spots throughout The Yorks have views of the Cape Neddick Light at Nubble Rock, which has figured in both artists' work and souvenirs of the Maine coast.
