Kennebunkport

Kennebunkport is one of the most popular tourist towns in the Southern Coast region. The Bush family has been vacationing here for years (a point that has helped the town gain notoriety), but presidential ties aside, Kennebunkport offers a range of activities to keep your interest.

If you arrive in summer, attendance at the beach goes without saying. Parsons Beach, though a mile long and good for birding, offers scant parking. Check out our beach listings for nearby alternatives.

For a bit of history, don't miss the Seashore Trolley Museum, which boasts over 200 cars in its collection. There are narrated tours, scenic rides, and a museum shop (for that take-home memento). See other heritage ideas in this region.

In good weather, whale watching or scenic water cruises are also a great option. Trips usually run from 2-4 hours and very often offer money back if no whales are spotted. Kennebunkport is also a great town for deep-sea fishing. Check out our charter list here.

Golfers will find plenty of courses to choose from in the area. Check out our golf course list here.
