Tourist Guide - The town of
York, known by many as the ultimate summer destination, is home to a variety of activities, attractions, and unique lodging options. Check-in to a charming York bed and breakfast or a cozy York inn, and prepare to discover all that this town has in store for you.

Another must-see is the lighthouse in Cape Neddick which stands 41-feet tall and dates back to 1879. Meanwhile, this town's sandy stretch of beach provides a perfect setting for a lazy summer day spent swimming, sunbathing, and sandcastle building.

At the end of the day make your way back to the warm hospitality of your York bed and breakfast or York inn where a comfy bed and a restful night's sleep await.
