The Waves Oceanfront Resort is directly on Old Orchard Beach, voted Maine's best, with seven miles of sand and surf. Walk a few steps from your room onto the beach to swim, stroll in the surf looking for shells or just relax and enjoy the view. Many of our rooms offer spectacular views of the ocean. We're an easy walk to the famous Old Orchard Pier, a fixture on the beach since 1898. The Pier is the centerpiece for family fun with an amusement park for the kids, shops, food, fun and entertainment.
