What to do and see in Kennebunkport, Maine (ME): The Best Nature & Parks

April 21, 2022 Flossie Demartino

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.

Kennebunk Beach

The shoreline of this popular swimming beach is dotted with large granite rocks.

My favorite beach here. I love to walk my dog and have him play with other dogs on the beach. And it's a great way to meet other people who are both visiting or live here.

Goose Rocks Beach

Quiet and family-oriented Maine beach.

Reviewed By hulaboynewengland

Goose Rocks Beach is undoubtedly one of the nicest beaches in the Northeast. It is truly a family beach with soft sand and a protected shore that allows small children to play in the water without massive waves. The water temperature is not as low as you might think - it's very enjoyable and refreshing, even for grandparents! Sand Dollar Real Estate is the place to go to find convenient rental properties. They are amazingly helpful and have a large stock of vacation properties (of every kind and description). Check out their webisite.
