get to know kennebunkport, Maine
our Beaches
Kennebunkport and Kennebunk beaches offer a classic Maine coast: rocky headlands, sandy shores, and seaside villages. Kennebunkport features historic inns, galleries, a working harbor, lobstermen, Dock Square shops, and waterfront dining. Architecture ranges from white clapboard cottages to Victorian homes; drives past Ram Island Ledge Light and Walker’s Point show the maritime heritage.
Nearby Kennebunk beaches—Mother’s, Gooch’s, and Parsons—provide wide sand, gentle surf, and family amenities. Gooch’s is popular for swimming and sunsets; Parsons is quieter with dunes and birdwatching; Mother’s is calm for small children. Trails, boardwalks, estuaries, and tidal pools invite exploration.
Together they form an easygoing coastal escape: scenic walks, fresh seafood, salt air, and relaxation between boating, kayaking, or tide-watching.
