Boothbay Harbor

Take in the best of Maine by visiting the seaside town of Boothbay Harbor. Natural beauty, outstanding seafood, and classic Maine charm can all be found here. Boothbay Harbor is a small town in Maine. It has a population of about 2,000 people, which is roughly the same as it did a century ago. But that's part of the appeal of Boothbay Harbor: it's a place where the tallest structure is an old wooden footbridge and lobster boats still chug back into the harbor with the catch of the day. But it's not a sleepy town; there's plenty to do in Boothbay Harbor, including interesting attractions, quirky shops, and delicious seafood restaurants. It's an excellent day trip destination.

It's impossible to visit Boothbay Harbor without seeing its famous footbridge. It was built in 1901 to connect the town's eastern and western sides. It's America's longest wooden footbridge, and it offers some of the best views of the harbor. When you're in Boothbay Harbor, you might hear the call of the sea. Answer it with the assistance of the Eastwind. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing two-hour sailing cruise on this classic schooner. The boat is as lovely as the Maine coast.

Boothbay Harbor's allure has long been known, and the town is bustling with visitors. It is filled with adorable shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Sweet Bay is the place to go for Maine-made gifts like hats, bags, and totes. This one-of-a-kind shop is located at 9 Townsend Ave. in Boothbay Harbor. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is another must-see. The gardens are 300 acres in size and feature cultivated plots, woodland trails, and stunning native plants.
