Owner Location Comment
Saco Maine is the location of the beginning of the longest beach in Maine, Camp Ellis.
Saco has several water/amusement theme parks, a drive in, golf course, movie theater, antique stores and so much more.
When you get down to Camp Ellis, you have stepped a bit back into the past. Many cottages still exist from the 1890s. 2 restaurants are within walking distance.
Camp Ellis also has a General Store, small gift shops, places to buy lobster fresh off the boats and a pier with boats leaving on various excursions. You can even rent a kayak right at the end of Camp Ellis Ave.
All of this is located only 20 minutes from downtown Portland Maine.
