Kennebunkport

The small town of Kennebunkport, population 3,500, has earned a reputation as a first-class vacation destination for New England’s most discriminating travelers–including both Presidents Bush, who make Kennebunkport their summer home.  If you can’t afford your own seasonal dwelling here, it’s a time-honored activity to gawk at houses on a stroll through town.

Shopping is another of Kennebunkport’s main draws, and its downtown is jam-packed with upscale shops and galleries.  Or, if you’re searching for a beach in the area, you can’t do any better than lovely Goose Rocks Beach on the edge of town.

Travel Tips

One of the best times to visit Kennebunkport is in the fall, when New England’s famous autumn colors burst into view.
