The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Kennebunkport, Maine (ME)
It took George H.W. Bush to make Kennebunkport known to most of the country, but New Englanders have enjoyed this quiet coastal Maine town for years. In hot weather, beaches are a major draw, but Kennebunkport's many small boutiques, art galleries and restaurants make a visit fun at any time of year. Inveterate shoppers may want to combine a visit to Kennebunkport with a trip to nearby Kittery, where dozens of outlets and factory stores offer plenty of bargains.

4.5 based on 73 reviews
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)

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.
8. 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.
