Living in this region can be whatever you want it to be-a peaceful time to refresh your soul, an active time boating, fishing, hiking, playing golf and tennis, or a family adventure.
You'll be captivated by the independent spirit and friendliness of the people, as well as by the area's many contrasts. There are quaint village streets and shops, band concerts and craft fairs on the Library lawn, bustling harbors flowing with lobster boats, fishing trawlers, windjammers and pleasure craft. Explore quiet coves, rocky shores, meandering roads, lighthouses, islands, and a waterfront park in the shape of a whale.
Rent a coveside cottage and watch the lobstermen tend their traps, or put to sea for a close encounter with a barnacle-encrusted whale. Visit the Historical Society in Boothbay Harbor and the Museum in Southport to learn about ice cutting and ship building in days gone by. See the handiwork of local boat yards, which continue the tradition in state-of-the art materials, and keep alive our heritage of world-class boat builders.
Discover the wealth of sights, sounds and scents to savor-the lobster wharves, with clams and mussels steaming on the dock; the gulls' distinct cries; the tingle of sun and salt on your skin; the cooling relief of an onshore breeze and the pleasant expectation of a succulent lobster dinner served with drawn butter.
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. Bright, warm and sunny July and August days are tinged with occasional fog to add mystery. The Fall color and crispness of September and October is complemented by fun-filled seasonal festivals. Then it's the quiet of Winter, with snow, wondrous sea smoke, and magical holiday light displays at the Boothbay Common, in the Harbor, and Southport village. Spring brings new life to the land and renewed activity with the Fishermen's Festival in April, and the exciting Windjammer Days in June.
The days end with the sunsets-oh the dazzling sunsets in not-to-be-believed colors. Yes, we will capture your hearts and refresh your souls.
