Summer 2008 - 128th Season

The seaside Chautauqua community of Ocean Park, ME has 127 years of history and heritage as a summer assembly in the Chautauqua tradition.

Founded in 1881, Ocean Park is a retreat to the quiet of the pines and the beach offering lectures, workshops, family programs and opportunities for spiritual growth and renewal in a non-denominational, inter-faith setting. The new Temple Garden can provide you with a time for quiet reflection or meditation and at the end of your stay, you will go home feeling just a bit more content and looking forward to your next Ocean Park encounter.

There are programs for kids, families, and individuals, whether you want to play tennis, swim in the ocean, visit the Memorial Library, attend Sunday morning services, or enjoy a concert in the historic Temple. In addition, a stop by the local gift shop, the grocery store, and the variety store will provide you with some pleasant purchasing opportunities. Everyone who comes to Ocean Park eventually winds up at the Soda Fountain, a wonderful old fashioned ice cream parlor and the perfect place to complete a family activity or end an evening walk around the Park.

While you are here, be sure to stop by Ocean Park Realty to secure your future lodging accommodations. Maddie Paquette, our Agency Realtor is ready to assist you.

The seven mile beach and the surrounding marsh and forest land are national treasures. The historic buildings of Ocean Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and most listings of the nation's finest beaches include the stunning seven mile beach, where kids of all ages play, swim, surf, and build castles in the sand.
