Maine's Southern Coast: Kennebunkport

Each of the towns we visited along the southern coast of Maine had it's own unique charm, but my favorite was Kennebunkport. The people I encountered there were friendly and obviously took pride in their town. There was a variety of restaurants, shops, and activities to keep us busy and happy, and there were many more that were within a 30-45 minute drive. Located where the Kennebunk River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Kennebunkport's natural setting was simply beautiful. We visited in early June before the summer tourist season really got started, so we were able to enjoy the town's easy-going, fun, and peaceful atmosphere before the crowds arrived. Kennebunkport is a great little town that is a nice blend of classy and quirky.

Maine's Southern Coast: The Marginal Way

One of my favorite spots on the southern coast of Maine is Ogunquit's Marginal Way. A paved footpath of a little more than a mile, The Marginal Way winds its way along the coast connecting Perkin's Cove to Ogunquit Beach. The Marginal Way offers an easy, peaceful walk with stunning, non-stop ocean views. Don't miss this little piece of paradise!
