Although the Pritnear Heaven is docked at Marston's Marina, we
pick up and drop off clients at Camp Ellis Pier, at the end of the Saco River
where it meets the Atlantic ocean. Below are directions to Camp Ellis
pier.
From Interstate 95 (North or
South):
Get off exit 36 (Saco exit). Go through the toll
booths (no toll) and the road becomes 195 - stay straight on 195. In about a
mile or two, 195 becomes Route 5 south. As you proceed on Route 5 south, you
will see a 7-11 store straight ahead. Route 5 south curves to the left here (Old
Orchard Road is on your right). You stay STRAIGHT here, going past the 7-11
store and keeping it on your left (you are now on Temple avenue). After about a
mile on Temple avenue, you will hit an intersection with Route 9. Take a right
here, onto Route 9 West. Stay straight on Route 9 West about 2.5 miles (it runs
parallel to the ocean), and then you will come to a 4-way stop. Go straight
here, onto Camp Ellis Avenue. Camp Ellis avenue is a narrow winding road only
about .3 to .4 miles long. It brings you to two parking lots in Camp Ellis,
where you can park your car for a small fee. Walk out on the pier, and look for
the Pritnear Heaven on the docks below the pier, to your
left.
From Old Orchard Beach:
Route 9 West starts
in downtown Old Orchard Beach as West Grand Avenue. So get on West Grand Avenue,
then follow the directions above from Route 9 west to the Camp Ellis
pier.
