Old Orchard Beach, Maine, has been a favorite New England destination for decades. An area rich in history but geared toward modern family activities and relaxation, Old Orchard Beach attracts visitors with restaurants, amusement rides, entertainment, a 500-foot-long ocean pier and, of course, miles of pristine beach along the Atlantic Ocean. Old Orchard Beach's oceanfront hotels are close to local attractions, with white sand just steps from your door.
The Waves Oceanfront Resort features a complex of buildings, all about 150 yards from the beach. An outdoor pool for non-ocean swimming is on site, and the hotel is within walking distance of the Old Orchard Beach Pier. More than 150 rooms are available, including two 2-bedroom and two 3-bedroom cottages. The Waves also has a fitness room and a small outdoor cafe for breakfast and lunch. The Waves Oceanfront Resort is open from May to October.
