Gem of a Gallery in Picturesque Seaside Town of Kennebunk in Maine! We have been patrons of this wonderfully-diverse art gallery for years now and are proud owners of paintings, wind sculptures, and glass art from various artists that the gallery represents... We have commissioned pieces and also bought from the gallery displays directly and, throughout each transaction, the staff has been wonderful to deal with and has made the process seamless - special kudos go out to Natalie (Gallery Director & Manager) and Abby (Marketing Director/Event & Studio Coordinator). Be sure to stop by and hit all of the buildings that encompass the gallery as each one has special treasures to be admired and, most certainly, one of these will touch your spirit and speak to your heart, as all good art does...!

We were two families of 4. You can buy parking through the app so you don’t have to track down passes. It was very convenient. The beach was lovely. Bigger waves were nice but the water was Cold. There was a surf class going on. We walked down a few beaches. All beautiful. Lots of room to throw a ball. Had a great day. Would go back.

My wife and I have enjoyed this beach for the past 49 years. Bringing our own Daughter & Son and our Grand-children to this magical sea side shore where we were surrounded by the warm loving atmosphere of young families enjoying their new born to school age children. Even now that we are older we still return to this beach on occasion where we can sit and remember our times by watching young families making memories of their own. The beautiful play ground that is located on the beach allows the children to enjoy swings, slides and monkey bars where you can hear push me higher Mom/Dad. We label this as a mystical paradise for making beautiful memories. A must place to visit and enjoy the fantasy that exists there. Wally & Vicki

Parson's Beach is very private with few visitors because of restrictive parking...only 6 or 7 parking spaces on Parson's Beach Road. Adjacent to the road is a tidal marsh with a few benches where you can sit and enjoy the quiet...shore birds, fish, and shells...lovely. You can walk along the Mousam River to the beach. Beach is private; beware of disturbing residents. Lovely at low tide.

We have been camping in the Wells/Kennebunk area and discovered the Kennebunk Dog Park a few years ago. What a GREAT find - it's a huge dog park, has lots of throw toys, water bowls, benches for the peeps and a separate portion of the park for dogs that don't do well with crowds. It's wide open and has a wooded portion and is without a doubt one of the best parks we've been to. It's awesome to tire the pups out so we can return them to our camper and they'll snooze away some time while we go out and sight-see or grab dinner out! Love this park and so do our pups! Highly recommend if you are looking for a spot to exercise the pups!!
