A day trip to idyllic Kennebunkport ..What to do

 

 If you happened to read my blog post last week about Portland, yes, on my Portland trip, we took a day tour of Kennebunkport. About 40 minutes from Portland in southern Maine, Kennebunkport is an idyllic coastal town. A picturesque, breezy town with beautiful waterfronts, cascading narrow roads, and gorgeous houses. Visiting Kennebunkport can make anyone happy, whether you want to rent a bike or sail in the water, eat lobster, walk in the beautiful square with melting ice cream, or wind shopping in the colorful stores and boutiques. 

What to do

  Experience the spirit of Dock Square - The lifeline and spirit of Kennebunkport is the Dock Square, with plenty of eating choices, from lobster rolls to natural ice cream, and an ample great eatery. Explore one-of-a-kind shopping and art galleries. Don't forget to click a photo with the Kennebunkport sign on the Lanigan Bridge. Touristy but worth clicking. 

Cape Porpoise - If Dock Square is the spirit of Kennebunkport, then Cape Porpoise is the Solace of Kennebunkport. A quiet escape with a gorgeous waterfront, the best view of the Goat Island lighthouse with few eating spots,. Cape Porpoise is a fishing village with a wide spread of views, floating boathouses, narrow roads, and whatnot.

Walker's Point—Walker's Point is truly depicted as a quintessential coastal Maine Charm. You can take a drive, and there are stopping points where you can park your car or bike and take a glimpse of deep blue water and rugged coast, along with gorgeous homes and former president George Bush's vacation home. Don't miss out; stop at St. Ann's Church lookout point to watch the sailboats.

Seashore Trolley Museum - Riding through history back in time with the guide in the vintage trolley is fun, learning, and relaxing. It features and displays trolleys and buses of a bygone era on huge grounds with a walkable area. You can also visit the gift shop, which has many collectibles, books, etc. One of the fine places to go with family and kids.
