Old Orchard Beach Maine - What to do when you visit!

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

I lived in OOB for 8 years in the 90s and early 2000s. A fantastic town!

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

Awesome, thanks for watching. Are you still in Maine?

[@EnkaMexi]

Thank you for the Video and Impressions, after 7 years this Summer i can visit my Relatives in Portland-Maine again, OOB is on my list of places to visit, we had a great time there before. 😃👍

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

Well we really hope you enjoy your visit! Maine is awesome in the summer!

[@aerochicc]

Calling it Maine's Jersey Shore is pretty accurate. I've spent a ton of time in both. It's a great place to entertain the kids, but if you're just looking for a quiet getaway, you might want to look north of the pier.

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

I agree. It's great for a fun time, there are some quiet places in OOB but near the pier is not one of them!

[@BurkesOutdoors]

I had a great time there a few weeks ago did a few videos.

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

Awesome! I'll check them out

I have a camping trip to OOB planned in early JUNE of this year . What can i expect as far as crowds, weather and traffic at that time of year?

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

Summer in Maine definitely brings crowds! That being said early June won't be too bad. It can still be a bit cold so make sure you have some sort of heat source if you are tent camping. Also I suggest driving during there week and not on the weekend to avoid tourist traffic up to Maine, but once you are here there is really no traffic! I really hope you enjoy your trip!

[@soltemple389]

I know there's quite a few parking areas but is parking very difficult? Does it fill up quickly on summer weekends? (August)

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

There are a bunch of parking lots that have all day parking. I have not had issues personally!

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

The must-have in the area is pier fries! But if you are looking for a sit-down meal Hooligans is a great option because it is out on the Pier!

Do you have to request access to fly your drone at OOB or is it stock footage that’s not ykurs

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

A lot of Maine requires a commercial drone license. We are in the process of obtaining ours so that we can bring you more ariel views and photography for our site and property tours. If you want more information on drone laws in Maine visit: uavcoach.com/drone-laws-maine/

[@neilouellette3004]

A lot of great bars in OOB?? You mean a lot of run down bars in OOB.

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

Thanks for watching. We always love a good dive bar! Would you be interested in a video highlighting some more upscale bars in Southern Maine?

[@willytompkins8115]

When you go to old towns you expect old fashioned dive bars. It's not meant to be modern and luxurious?

[@rogerrabbito4517]

They let cattle on the boardwalk??? O wait... um... *whistles* - yikes.

[@neilouellette3004]

OOB is a tad run down. Like an old lady still wearing the 50's make-up.

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

And we love her! Thanks for watching!

[@Orionwayz]

Loved that place so much as a kid, but the last 2 years we went there the locals would yell racial slurs at us. We were Quebecois, what happened, what did we do to offend them. My parents decided we wouldn't go anymore, word got around in Quebec. We wasn't welcomed ther anymore.. I ask why?? I loved that place.

[@MakeMaineYourHome]

So sorry to hear that happened. That is really terrible that you did not feel welcome in such a fun place in Maine

[@neilouellette3004]

Come down to Kennebunkport, Wells Beach or Ogunquit Beach. You won't get racial slurs there. Loved to have you!

[@willytompkins8115]

Go ANYWAY !!
