I am going to visit Old Orchard Beach. The country is United States and the capitol is Washington. DC. The countries that border it are Mexico and Canada. The bodies of water that border the country are the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. The GPS Coordinates are 43.517434, 70.377588. The climate is usually warm and sunny except in winter. The average high temperature is 57.25 degrees and the average low temperature is 36.08 degrees. There are lots of people, a big pier and its sandy.
The first settler was Thomas Rogers in 1657. Ten malitiamen held off against 150 indians a few years letter. Thomas Rogers house was burned. In 1820 the first Inn was built. The new railroad brought many vistors in 1842. The first pier was built in 1898 and was damaged by the tides and they had to built a different one. In 1907 it was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt. It was damaged by a storm in 1909 making it shorter. The pier was destroyed by a storm in 1978. The pier standing today opened in 1980. People have vacationed there for 250 years.
The location is important because millions of people from around their world spend their money at Old Orchard Beach and that is good for Maine.
It is 96.6 miles from Birch Point Beach State Park to Old Orchard Beach. I rode by car. It cost $14.55 to get there by car.
