Marston's Marina is a well-established private marina located on the Saco River tidewater in Biddeford, offering convenient access to this scenic Maine waterway. The facility is situated approximately 2 miles upstream from Saco Bay and the open ocean, making it an ideal launch point for paddlers and boaters interested in exploring both the river and coastal waters. The marina has been family-owned and operated for over 50 years and is known as a reliable resource for the local boating community.
For kayakers and canoeists, this location provides easy access to the tidal Saco River, with a pleasant 2-mile paddle downstream leading to Saco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The area is suitable for various skill levels depending on tide and conditions. Nearby, the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge offers excellent paddling opportunities for wildlife viewing, particularly for observing migratory birds and waterfowl.
