The first thing I do after welcoming a guest to the Maine Stay is to ask, “Have you ever been to Kennebunkport before?” Sometimes this leads to conversations about childhood visits to
Maine, anniversaries and special occasions, or even first airplane trips. But most often this simple question allows me to figure out how best to help you enjoy your Maine vacation. And for those of you planning your trip to Kennebunkport Maine, here are some of my favorite things to do in Kennebunkport:
- Eat a lobster (preferably at Nunan’s Lobster Hut). A lobster roll is acceptable as well. Preferably in addition to, not instead of.
- Head to Cape Porpoise to see the lobster boat come in to the harbor. Plus, you’ll catch a glimpse of Goat Island Light.
- Watch the sun set from the Kennebunkport bridge.
- Go to the beach (this is a must, no matter the weather or the season).
- Take a scenic sailboat ride (I’m partial to the Schooner Eleanor, but they are all lovely).
- See Spouting Rock just before the tide is at its highest (be careful, you might get wet!)
- Relax at your favorite (and mine) Kennebunkport bed and breakfast inn!
Kennebunkport, Maine, is the perfect vacation destination throughout the year, with limitless possibilities of things to do and places to do nothing at all. I hope you enjoy these activities as much as I do, and we’ll see you at the Maine Stay!
