Biddeford, ME - City Review 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Biddeford is a beautiful area in Maine. It's not very large, and I know many of the people who live in the town. It's a place where you can enjoy being yourself without worrying about what you wear or where you go during the day. Unfortunately, there aren't many attractions, but ...Read More there are a few small shops and restaurants. My favorite place to visit when I'm not working is Fortunes Rocks Beach. There are numerous seashells and colorful rocks that are right on the edge of the shore. Most of the attractions are small and outdoors.

Even though there are very few restaurants, one of the places I try to visit at least once a week is Mulligans. The restaurant is locally owned, and the food is caught fresh from the ocean each day. The oysters are the best as well as the flounder. Since the town is so small, there aren't many places to work, but if you're willing to travel, Saco has more opportunities and is a short distance away. Read Less
