The Village of Camp Ellis is located at the junction of the Saco River and the Atlantic Ocean. Renters of our cottage can walk on the rock jetty and see this beautiful scene on the river on 1 side and when they look to the other side, view the 7 mile long beach on the ocean.
Pictured above is Camp Ellis Beach as the tide is going out. A very quiet beach, especially during the off season where you can literally walk for miles at low tide.
