​Kennebunkport – the jewel in the crown of the Maine Coastline – is the ideal place to spend your romantic getaway, mid-week escape, long weekend or family vacation.
Explore Kennebunkport's premium shopping in Dock Square, stroll arm-in-arm along the Maine coast beaches or discover the rich history of Kennebunkport while browsing locally owned antique shops and art galleries. Tour the docks of Cape Porpoise to see the day's lobster catch fresh off the boats. Hop aboard one of the Inn's free bikes and go exploring. Pedal off to Goose Rocks Beach, a secluded, less crowded ribbon of sugary sand, where you can watch seals lounging on the rocks and terns hunting the waters for fish.
The History Center of Kennebunkport provides self-guided, walking-tour maps of historic homes, where you'll marvel at beautifully restored examples of Colonial, Greek Revival, Federal and Victorian architecture.

A little retail therapy in Kennebunkport on the Maine Coast… Dock Square is the focal point for shopping in the region. The village of Kennebunkport offers a multitude of fine shops and art galleries to visit.
The Mast Cove Gallery is located at the intersection of Mast Cove Lane and Maine Street.
This gallery features locations at 10 Chase Hill Road and 14 Western Avenue.
A busy beach, Gooch's has room for tourists, castle builders, body surfers, sun seekers and swimmers. Gooch's Beach is the place to go when the weather worsens and the surf gets too rough for swimmers, but is ideal for intrepid surfers.
Tucked in a sheltered cove at the southern end is Mother's Beach. It's the perfect sand beach, which is the smallest of the Kennebunk Beaches at 750 feet. With a playground right on the beach and gentle waves, it is a popular choice for families with young children.
Out of the way and quiet, with a limited number of parking spaces and facilities to keep the crowds down, this beach is a favorite among nature lovers looking for a quiet shoreline stroll. During your visit, be sure to walk down Parson's Way, a path that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, to Walker's Point, former President George H.W. Bush's summer home.
