On the north side of Biddeford Pool is Hills Beach, a 500 yard stretch of sandy beach at the outlet of the Saco River. This beach is protected from the prevailing SW wind and swell so the air is generally warmer and the waves generally smaller than at Biddeford Pool Beach to the south. The beach is located in a residential area near the University of New England. There is limited street parking and no lifeguard, toilet or other facilities. Bird watching is popular here because of the proximity to wetlands.
