VISIT THE KENNEBUNKS

Your Maine for All Seasons

"More than just good times and great memories, vacations become the fabric of our lives."

Welcome to the Kennebunks. So close, yet worlds away.

Just 90 miles north of Boston, there's a glorious little corner of Maine where lobstermen still command the sea, where shop owners greet their visitors like long-lost friends and where the time-warp charm of New England's old-world fishing villages takes us back to simpler times – back when leisurely summer evenings were spent on front porches enjoying soft ocean breezes and long winter nights were warmed by the company of loved ones, as a gentle snowfall blanketed the outside world in delicate lace.

Welcome to the pristine seaside communities of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Arundel and Cape Porpoise – also known as the "Kennebunks." We're so close you can spend just a day – yet we're worlds away from the stress of everyday living. Recapture childhood memories of sun-drenched days spent at the beach. Renew your sense of adventure by cruising out of Cape Porpoise on a working lobster boat, fly-fishing on the Mousam River or hitting the slopes at one of our nearby ski resorts. Let our small-town community spirit become part of the fabric of your life – for a day or for a lifetime.

July 4th Fireworks update! The Kennebunk Fireworks will be held on Saturday, July 4th at dusk at the end of Gooch's beach. The rain date is Sunday, July 5th.

Christmas Prelude is just one of many special events throughout the area catering to the every budget, age and interest. In January, the Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Annual Wedding Show. In February, many of our local inns offer affordable February is for Lovers get-away "couples" packages. In May, Kennebunk features its annual May Day Celebration, and President Bush Sr. and Mrs. Bush often partake in the Kennebunkport Memorial Day parade festivities. In June, Kennebunkport Arts in the Inns pairs palates with palettes!
