Boothbay Harbor
Beach Town · Boothbay Harbor, Maine
A harbour town of about two thousand on a deep inlet of the mid-coast, and one of the best boating harbours in Maine. It is compact, walkable and unapologetically a summer town: schooners and lobster boats in the water, a wooden footbridge across the harbour, and shops and galleries along Commercial and Townsend. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are a few minutes away, and most people combine the two.
