Biddeford Pool

Biddeford Pool refers to many things: a large tidal pool, a small, well-kept town that surrounds said pool, and a quiet beach cove that feels a world away from the crowds at Old Orchard Beach. Parking is difficult to find, but any walk you take to the beach area will run past quaint residential side streets and local nature trails.
