If there's one great thing that came from a strenuous year in 2020, it's that it may have reshaped the way Maine does outdoor dining permanently. Portland has once again adopted the idea of closing off several streets and allowing restaurants to extend their dining space outdoors to enhance the experience for patrons. And now one of Maine's hottest tourist destinations is joining the party with a chance to dine right next to the crashing waves on Old Orchard Beach. Shared on Facebook by OOB Pier, Hooligan's Pub (part of the Pier family of restaurants) will be getting an outdoor makeover for the 2021 season. As you can see in the photo above, a dozen tables will be available to patrons this summer as a chance to truly dine right on top of the legendary beach. The finished product isn't quite there yet, but many return visitors to The Pier commented at how excited they were for the new seating option right on the sand.
