To the west are rolling hills and horse farms, creating a peaceful, rural landscape. Just three miles northeast of Biddeford is Old Orchard Beach, home to a popular seaside amusement park that resembles Coney Island. Here, the pier is lined with shops, restaurants, midway games, rides and a video arcade. In the summertime, visitors enjoy fireworks on Old Orchard Beach next to the pier.
