They take no prisoners in historic York
York is one of the country's earliest English settlements, and you'll learn a lot when you come here. The Museums of Old York are a good start; you can enjoy countless exhibits and old buildings here. Also of note is Old York Gaol, one of America's oldest prisons, dating from 1720. No York vacation rental is complete without taking the trek to Cape Neddick Light. Take in the historic lighthouse before heading out to York's Wild Kingdom, a charming and family-friendly zoo with a few theme park rides.
Take me down to the paradise city of York
York is truly a summer paradise, with temperatures averaging around 80 degrees throughout the season. The evenings are equally comfortable, albeit a touch cooler by the water, so you may still want to grab a lightweight scarf when packing for your York vacation rental. If you're brave enough to handle a harsh York winter, you'll be handed lows in the teens and highs only in the upper 20s. It's not for the fainthearted, but if you prefer having the town to yourself you'll definitely love itÑYork is decidedly less crowded at year's end.
Come out of your shell - it's a shore thing in York
Situated at the very south end of Maine, York earns the distinction of being one of America's most beloved beach cities. Long Sands boasts 2 miles of plush white sand, while York Harbor Beach provides incredible views of York River. York is also home to one of Maine's tallest mountains, Mount Agamenticus. It's the perfect spot for a hike or a picnic. Southern Maine is also a great place to spot wildlife! Grab your camera and be readyÑyou just may spot a moose, humpback whale, or adorable penguin.
