From New Hampshire & South:

Exit 32 (formerly exit 4), Maine Turnpike (Biddeford) (Note that this is at Mile 32 on the toll road portion of the ‘pike. There is another exit 4 in York, south of the toll road).

Turn Left out of the toll booth on Route 111.

Go straight on 111 to the fourth set of lights (2.3 miles).

(First light will be at Shaws & gas station, second light will be at Staples, third light 1.3 miles from the Turnpike at "5 Points", w/Mobil & Burger King on your right. Fourth light will be in another 1.0 mile, across from a Citgo Station, one block after Pizza by Alex on your right and Post Office on your left)

Turn right at this fourth set of lights on Routes 9 and 208 (Pool Street).

Proceed 5.5 miles and fork left on Route 208 (Bridge Road) to Biddeford Pool.

(You will have passed through one set of lights about 100 yards after making the right onto 9 & 208. When you reach to fork where 208 splits off to the left, there will be a tall Water Tower in the woods on your right; tower visible by day, red light atop visible by night)

Proceed .6 miles to a "T" with a stop sign.

Turn left, still on Rte. 208 (Mile Stretch).

Proceed 1.0 mile along Mile Stretch (makes sense, huh?) until you go up and back down a small rise.

Bear left when the road forks and continue another quarter mile until the road does a hairpin turn back to the right around a lobster pound.

When the road doubles back to the right, you turn to the left into a dirt driveway and the Yacht Club is ahead on your right.

 

From Portland & North:

Exit 36 (formerly exit 5), Maine Turnpike (Saco, Rte. 195) (About Mile 36 on the toll road portion of the ‘pike.)

Straight out of the toll booth on Route 195.

Take Exit 2A, your second exit from 195 (Saco Downtown) and turn right on Rte. 1 South.

After .8 miles, when Rte. 1 bears off to the right at a set of lights, stay left/straight on Main Street into downtown Saco.

Follow Main Street through Saco for another .8 miles, across train tracks, down hill and over Saco River.

About 100 yards after crossing river, turn left up hill on Hill Street.

Follow Hill Street through blinking light to traffic light at Pool Street.
