Kennebunkport
Just two hours from Boston and you are at the stunning craggy coastline with crashing surf of New England and Kennebunkport, a haven of peace and beauty. Take to the sea for a sailing excursion and watch the whales at play, or spend the day boating and fishing or just enjoying the water sports available. On land explore the region walking, biking or horseback riding on the many trails or enjoy a round of golf on the scenic golf courses. Stroll through the pretty historic town with unique shops, boutiques and galleries and delightful dining options or pass by the summer home of George H. W. Bush.
Kennebunkport Beaches
Gooch’s, Middle Beach, and Mother’s Beach (aka Kennebunk Beach) are each unique and spectacular, from sand to stones to tidal pools. Just follow Beach Avenue, and you’ll see all three.
Colony Beach, a 150-foot stretch of sand located at the mouth of the Kennebunk River, is named for its location in front of the grand old Colony Hotel, usually offering small waves along its rocky sands. You can walk on the breakwater rocks to view boats in the harbor. It’s also a popular place for locals to fish for stripers.
Goose Rocks Beach is arguably the most scenic beach in Kennebunkport Maine, located a few miles from the centre of town in a more secluded and residential area beyond Cape Porpoise. The soft, flat sandy beach is ideal for walking or relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views of nearby Timber Island and the coast.
