Pine Point Beach is both public and private with public access; the Town maintains the beach area, parking lot, and facilities. 

Each summer, endangered Piping Plovers call Scarborough's beaches home. Piping plovers are small, sandy-colored birds that nest in front of sand dunes on the upper beach. They are vulnerable to natural predators, roaming pets, storms, and human activity. Keep away from staked and twined nesting areas.
