Welcome to Boothbay Harbor!
Discovering this picture-perfect seaside village is like stepping back to a simpler time. Visitors are charmed by the sparkling harbor waters, enchanting village streets, the steepled waterfront church and friendly locals. Speckled with fishing boats, pleasure craft and windjammers, the ocean is the heart and soul of Boothbay Harbor, a town founded upon and still thriving on fishing and boat-building. Sea kayaking and whale-watching are must-do activities while in town and Boothbay Harbor's lobster dinners and sunsets are some of the best anywhere. Turning attention inland, visitors will find flower-lined country lanes to be strolled, forests of nature trails to be explored and galleries and shops to be perused. Visitors will also enjoy the Maine State Aquarium, the historic Opera House and seasonal festivals, including spring's Fishermen's Festival and Windjammer Days Festival and summer's Lincoln Arts Festival. When heads are weary, a wealth of B&Bs and hotels offer soft pillows to suit all budgets, after a satisfying meal at one of Boothbay Harbor's many fine restaurants.Tourist Attractions
