Coastal Maine Scooter Rentals

Coastal Maine Scooter Rentals was an idea born of opportunity in the Kennebunks. Our successful sister business, Coastal Maine Kayak and Bike, had been going strong for 9 years, and adding scooters to the mix seemed like a logical expansion. We are now in our third year of business, and happy to be growing and continuing to provide a fun and unique way to explore the Kennebunks each summer.

Gooch's Kennebunk Beach

Reviewed By Jgifas - Montvale, United States

We were two families of 4. You can buy parking through the app so you don’t have to track down passes. It was very convenient. The beach was lovely. Bigger waves were nice but the water was Cold. There was a surf class going on. We walked down a few beaches. All beautiful. Lots of room to throw a ball. Had a great day. Would go back.

Mother's Beach

Reviewed By Z1944GJwalterd

My wife and I have enjoyed this beach for the past 49 years. Bringing our own Daughter & Son and our Grand-children to this magical sea side shore where we were surrounded by the warm loving atmosphere of young families enjoying their new born to school age children. Even now that we are older we still return to this beach on occasion where we can sit and remember our times by watching young families making memories of their own. The beautiful play ground that is located on the beach allows the children to enjoy swings, slides and monkey bars where you can hear push me higher Mom/Dad. We label this as a mystical paradise for making beautiful memories. A must place to visit and enjoy the fantasy that exists there. Wally & Vicki

Parsons Beach

Reviewed By redeco - Warren, United States

Parson's Beach is very private with few visitors because of restrictive parking...only 6 or 7 parking spaces on Parson's Beach Road. Adjacent to the road is a tidal marsh with a few benches where you can sit and enjoy the quiet...shore birds, fish, and shells...lovely. You can walk along the Mousam River to the beach. Beach is private; beware of disturbing residents. Lovely at low tide.
