Alternatives To The Crowded Kennebunk's

Maine has the largest landmass of any of the New England states and has one of the fewest populations. The coast of Maine offers wonderful views and little fishing villages to explore all along the 228 miles of rocky coast. The southern coast has all kinds of things to offer the vacation traveler and is probably the most populated part of the state.

Kennebunkport consists of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Kennebunk beach make up the Kennebunk’s. Kennebunkport, the most famous of the three towns is very historic and beautiful at any time of the year. Summer residents to the area include the Bush family. George and Barbara Bush have a summerhouse on Walker Point, Kennebunkport. For a lot of visitors to the area the town is so busy that staying elsewhere and taking a drive to Kennebunkport is a great option.

Only 15 miles to the south, the little town of Ogunquit can offer some wonderful Maine Lodging options. Ogunquit, known at “Beautiful Place by the Sea” is a small town with boutique shops, restaurants and its famous three-mile beach that affords swimmers a rather brisk pounding surf or a warm quite cove. This small town with a population of around 1000 people is typical of a beautifully preserved historic Maine town. Easy to get around on local “trolleys’ you can navigate from town to Perkins Cove in no time flat.
