General Info

This quaint beach is nestled in a residential oceanside neighborhood, with a small river forming at its tip. It retains a small-town feel as you’ll see residents taking a dip, fishermen casting their line, and kayakers paddling out. You'll see avid surfers catching waves regardless of the season too. Higgins Beach also draws families for its inviting shores and great swimming conditions. If it's low tide, you'll get to spot the shipwreck embedded in the sand. Higgins Beach is a short 20-minute scenic drive from bustling Portland and makes a great day trip from the city. – TripadvisorThis quaint beach is nestled in a residential oceanside neighborhood, with a small river forming at its tip.
