Nestled approximately 3 miles inland, Cottage at Birch Knoll serves as your cozy retreat with easy beach access just a short drive away. Cape Neddick Beach is 2.9 miles from your door, a 6-minute drive to a charming crescent-shaped beach at the mouth of the Cape Neddick River. Where tide pools, rocky outcroppings, and river mouth views offer delightful exploration, especially at low tide. Ogunquit Beach lies 3 miles out (5-minute drive), a three-mile stretch of soft white sand nestled between the river and Atlantic Ocean, popular for swimming, sunbathing, surfing, and scenic cliffside walks along the Marginal Way. Both beaches offer summer lifeguards, public amenities, and the classic coastal charm that makes the York area shine.
