OOB is pure tourism from May through September. The rest of the year it is a ghost town. Very seasonal.

Any thoughts on the safety? I found a home about 15 minutes from the beach.

Very safe! It really is!

Very safe town, especially the farther from the beach you are. I recommend downtown Saco which is one town over for your local flavor. Lots of great food spots!

15 minute... You must mean walk? I don't think you could mean drive and be that far away from the beach, and still in OOB. Not a large town at all area-wise.

It's safe, except in tourist season where you may occasionally deal with trashy drunks.
