Spring Edition: What To Do In Kennebunkport, ME

Maine will always have a special place in my heart. No matter where I go or live, there is just no place like home. My favorite spot to visit in Maine is hands-down Kennebunkport. It is quintessential coastal New England.

Picture sailboats in the coastal inlets, trinket stores carrying lighthouse memorabilia, and cedar shingle buildings that house cozy restaurants. Like I said, picture perfect coastal New England! Well you can find all of this while walking down Kennebunkport.

What to do in Kennebunkport:

You might also want to check out Gooch’s beach. This is obviously much nicer to do when it is warm, but in the hazy spring it gives the perfect lighting to moody photos. From Gooch’s beach you can also see the Bush summer compound!

Honestly one of my favorite things to do in Kennebunkport is simply going into the trinket stores. They range from Maine souvenirs, to coastal memorabilia and everything in between. You can see that I found some pretty cool trinkets in the stores that I wandered into!

Where to eat:

Even though the weather is less than pleasant when it comes to Spring in Maine, there are still plenty of ways to get outside. Kennebunkport is the perfect place for strolling the streets, and then cozying up in a restaurant sipping craft beer. The perfect place to go is Federal Jack’s. They have fantastic Maine brewed beer as well as spectacular views of the harbor.

A pro tip for anyone looking to travel to Maine in the spring, Maine Maple Sunday is a must! It is a celebrated Maine tradition that combines a sweet holiday with rustic Maine. Tie your trip to Kennebunkport with that special celebration and you’ll have a trip to remember!
