The town of Freeport, Maine, was made famous by one store – the L.L. Bean. Home of its flagship location, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Freeport is great to visit at any time of day or year! But now you’ll find oodles of high-end outlet shops in a comfortable and charming town. A sharp contrast to the strip-mall style Kittery Outlets, Freeport is ideal for aimless browsing and meandering with friends and family.
But so you don’t shop ‘til you drop, make sure to check out Azure Cafe for lunch or dinner. Enjoy a simple, fresh salad on their garden patio (ideal if you are an avid “people watcher”) or an elaborate meal of grilled salmon on perfectly grilled asparagus and “smashed” potatoes in their elegant dining room.
Just 40 minutes to the north of Kennebunkport and your Kennebunkport bed and breakfast inn, the Maine Stay, Freeport makes a wonderful day trip. Looking for the scenic route? Try Route 9 past Goose Rocks Beach and Biddeford Pool and Route 1 after reaching Portland.
