Sunny and 75, a gorgeous Maine Monday ahead of Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day is a week away, and summer vibes are already hitting coastal Maine.

SCARBOROUGH (NEWS CENTER Maine) -- Memorial Day is a week away, and summer vibes are already hitting coastal Maine.

Higgins Beach in Scarborough is one of the many beaches busy for a Monday in mid-May. Despite air temperatures hitting the 70s, even at the beaches, it goes without saying that the water is still very cold. It's only in the low 50s. We found plenty of surfers in the water at low tide, with the gear needed to keep warm.

Up the road at Higgins Beach Market, new owners Morgan and Elsa Schafer are on their third day of business, looking forward to the season ahead.

While there are perks to running a seasonal business, they are finding it is difficult to find part-time, seasonal employees.

"We're looking to bring on a lot of young people and get them started in the work force," Schafer said.
