Overview
East End Beach sits at the foot of Portland's Eastern Promenade, a small city beach on Casco Bay with a boat launch, dog-friendly park above, and sweeping views toward the islands. This is saltwater, not freshwater, and the water stays cold by northeast standards well into summer. Lifeguard coverage is limited; check city notices for closures after heavy rain.
