CHAUTAUQUA-BY-THE-SEA
2011 Season Review in Pictures
Summer 2012 - 132th Season Planning Continues
Watch for Announcements
The seaside Chautauqua community of Ocean Park, ME has 131 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 Temple Garden and pergola 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.
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. Isn't it time to visit?
Be sure to stop by or visit Ocean Park Realty on the web to secure your
lodging accommodations for 2012. Maddie Paquette, our Agency Realtor is ready
to assist you.
Preview of the 2012 season: There will be 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.
