The Kennebunk Free Library is just wonderful. A library not only with everything in which you may be interested but knowledgeable and helpful staff to find it and steer you in the right direction when you are unsure what you re after. Good parking great central location and quiet.

Reviewed By Q7081RYrichardl - Chagrin Falls, United States

Summer home of two Bush Presidents - lots of history and a place for great picture taking; it can be busy so wait patiently for a safe parking place.

Ocean Avenue

This scenic drive in Kennebunkport passes by former President George Bush's summer home.

Reviewed By Anonymous671 - Newburyport, United States

Beautiful homes on one side of the road and the mighty Atlantic Ocean on the other side with the Bush compound and charming St Ann’s church thrown in for good measure.

Parson's Way

Located off Ocean Avenue, this popular walking path winds along Kennebunkport's rugged and scenic coastline.

Reviewed By beths1030 - Dracut, United States

Ok so I was a bit confused about Parsons Way and Ocean Ave. I realized that Parsons Way is Ocean Ave. It's a part of the coastline that a man donated to Kennebunkport. It's not a separate trail. It is a must do walk. I recommend walking since the road has cars on it and it's pretty narrow meaning bikes often are right up to the sidewalk. Also on foot you can really enjoy the coastline, St. Ann's church, the gorgeous houses finally ending at Walkers point. It only took us about an hour to walk up and back to Colony beach (also on Ocean Ave)

7. Saint Ann's Church

Driving along the ocean, you can come across this monument dedicated for former President of the United States George HW Bush. The view of the residence with the rocks and the ocean is quite spectacular.

Goat Island Lighthouse

Built in 1880, this 25-foot lighthouse flashes white every six seconds as it stands guard over Cape Porpoise Harbor.

Reviewed By KimGTravels - Pacific Grove, United States

My husband and I viewed Goat Island and its lighthouse from Cape Porpoise Point, at the mouth of Cape Porpoise Harbor. Informational signs are posted which detail the history and significance of Goat Island and its lighthouse. A ship's helm stands near the signage, another fun photo opportunity. Enjoy the sunset and watch harbor activity from this vantage. A definite must see when visiting the Kennebunkport area. Grab a cocktail or bite to eat at Pier 77 Restaurant, across the parking lot.
