Over the years the Old orchard Pier has changed due to the times and fires. Today, it offers the amusement park people a chance to see what a pier is supposed to be like. Great views of the beach, places to get french fries with a touch of vinegar, a dough boy with powdered sugar, and some Maine friend clams.... More

We went here in March and just loved how quiet it was. We sat together and watched the sun go down almost every night. It was beautiful when it was empty but I don't think I want to see it in the summer.

Old Orchard Beach offers a lot of fun things, and the Pier is one of them. I like walking the pier, doing some shopping, stopping to eat and listening to the soothing sounds of the water.
