Kennebunkport, Maine
Population: 3,720
Located in York County
Kennebunkport is nestled between the Kennebunk River and the ocean--"the port" being on the east side of the river and Lower Village on the west. On both sides of the river, waterfront buildings steeped in history are the home of fine gift shops, clothing and jewelry boutiques, art galleries and some of the finest restaurants on the Maine Coast. Picturesque Dock Square, with its monument bursting with colorful flowers from spring through fall and its magnificent fir tree decorated with lobster buoys and thousands of lights for Christmas Prelude, has inspired local and national artist and photographers, as have the river, beaches, historical buildings and our rocky coast. Settled in the 1600s and a long time ship building Mecca, the river banks saw five-masted ships and schooners making their way down the Kennebunk River on their way to the sea. Sea Captains built fine mansions, many of which are preserved today as lovely inns with antique charm and ambience. Over 100 years ago, this part of the Maine Coast first became a resort destination-- today it's "the place to be all year."
