OUR TAKE ON BOOTHBAY HARBOR
Enter Boothbay Harbor, Maine and you’ll feel like you’re stepping back in history. It’s the largest boat harbor north of Boston, so there is plenty going on nowadays as well. Stop by the Historical Society in Boothbay Harbor to get your bearings, and find out about its history of shipbuilding and ice cutting.
There are lots of kid friendly things to do during every season. The calendar of Boothbay Harbor is filled with festivals that take place year-round. For boat lovers, you might like to plan your schedule around the Windjammer Days festival that takes place every year in late June. The Harbor is filled with billowing sails, reminding us of the historic boating days gone by.
If you’re in the mood for seafood, you’ve come to the right place. There are restaurants for every taste and budget. You might want to try the mussels and clams, or join a crowd for a lobster bake with all the trimmings. If you enjoy fresh air and salty seas, you’re in for some fun. The Tidal Transit Kayak Company can take you to places you’ve never seen, with a tour of the surrounding islands. Whale watching is will top off the trip.
