East Coast

Kennebunkport, Maine

This east coast location used to be a fishing and shipping village. But nowadays, it’s been recast as one of the most popular summer destinations in the US.

This coastal town sees more visitors in the summer months, but it’s the sort of place you can visit throughout the year. Beautiful quaint shops, galleries, and seafood restaurants line the streets.

On a warm day, beach lovers can explore the sandy and pristine Colony beach. Or you can hit up the long sandy shores at Goose Rocks Beach or Arundel Beach. You’ll find boat and kayaking tours and other forms of water activities awaiting you at this beach.

You can also ride one of the restored vintage streetcars at the Seashore Trolley Museum when the temperatures dip. But no matter the weather, top off your day in typical east coast fashion by grabbing a lobster roll and strolling through the town’s shops and galleries!
