Old Orchard Beach: The Sand and the Fun Go On and On

Have you heard of Old Orchard Beach? It's not as well known nor as crowded as some New England beaches. That means this seven-mile stretch of sand in southern Maine is the perfect choice for those who seek not only the amusements typical of a family beach destination but the chance to claim more than a towel-sized piece of beach as their own. Here's my complete guide to Old Orchard Beach.
