What Memories are Made of…
A visit to the Boothbay Harbor region can be whatever you want it to be - a peaceful time to refresh your soul in your oceanfront accommodations, an active time boating, fishing, hiking, playing golf and tennis, or a family adventure.

Come see for yourself why the Boothbay Harbor Region is the soul of the Maine coast. Explore quiet coves, rocky shores, meandering country roads and beautiful lighthouses. The restaurants are plentiful and varied, and the food is delicious.

The salt air isn't the only thing that's refreshing: the people of Boothbay Harbor pride themselves on turning strangers into friends. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a fresh air retreat, or an extended sojourn from city life, you'll be glad you found Boothbay Harbor.

Explore one of more than a dozen nature trails, try out our world-class golf course, or experience some of the best sea kayaking available anywhere. Our harbor bustles with fishing vessels and pleasure craft in equal numbers, and nothing beats the sight of the schooners heading in from the afternoon trip with their sails bathed in the rosy light of a spectacular sunset -unless of course you're lucky enough to be on board!

Savor the wharves, with clams and mussels steaming on the dock; the tingle of sun and salt on your skin; a cooling breeze, and the pleasant expectation of a succulent lobster dinner.

Come enjoy nature at its best. Spectacular sunrises herald the new day; tall evergreens march down the rocky coast, June's lupines and other wildflowers color local fields and roadsides. Warm and sunny July days are tinged with occasional fog to add mystery. The Fall color and crisp air of September and October is complemented by fun-filled seasonal festivals.

Spring brings new life to the land and renewed activity with the Fishermen's Festival in April, and the exciting Windjammer Days in June. Regardless of when you come or how long you'll stay, we're certain you'll find that the Boothbay Harbor Region truly is "the soul of the coast."
