Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach is a quietly stunning anchorage off Cape Elizabeth, about eight miles south of Portland, where the coastline curves naturally into a sheltered arc of hard-packed sand. You'll anchor off and find a family-friendly shoreline backed by wooded areas and saltwater coves, with the kind of calm that's increasingly hard to find along the Maine coast.
