All-American York Maine, Family Travel Tips

By  | 

Call this is an All-American town! From old ice cream stores to hamburger joints, to surf shops, York Maine is a blast from my past and my childhood. Welcome to York Maine – here are my All-American York Maine, Family Travel Tips.

When I arrived, my daughter and I walked down the street to check out the little town. The beach was everything I remember as a child. York is familiar because my family used to vacation on Cape Cod. And the small town reminded me of the villages found on the Cape. York is similar to the Cape, because of the oceans smell and the ice cream parlor, the friendly staff and of course the beautiful beaches. Yip, I was transplanted back to my childhood.

Perhaps, York is as beautiful as anyplace, I have seen. Beachy – yes. Old fashion – yes. Safe? It is super safe. I decided to write about York, Maine to give my Solo Travel Tips, Family Travel Tips, and impressions. First of all, it’s the perfect All-American vacation location for family travelers, solo travelers, and romantic couples.

My suggestion is if you want to see America, don’t go to Washington DC, New York or Miami, Florida, come to York Maine. Nowadays, we long for safe streets, cheap eats for the foodies, and the relaxed lifestyle. Hands down, this is the place that has all of those characteristics.

Tip 1 – Teach your children to be good travelers by carrying their gear. In our house – If my kids didn’t carry their stuff, they didn’t get to go skiing or where ever we were going.

Tip 3 – Bring a first aid kit. You never know when someone will get too much sun, a sprained ankle or wrist. Bring plastic pages for icing, Don’t forget to bring two sizes of ace band-aids. Bring, Tylenol and Ibpropean for pain. Don’t forget to bring cold sore medicine if you are prone to them. Last, but not least bring Benedral for allergic reactions including too many mosquito bites.
