Set on Maine's beautifully rugged coastline, just 48 km from the city of Portland, the laid-back seaside village of Kennebunkport has been popular with summertime holidaymakers since the 19th century. Frequently likened to the Hamptons, Kennebunkport features numerous sandy beaches, ideal for swimming, surfing and sailing and lined with gorgeous summer homes. The area also features a few rocky beaches, characteristic of Maine, such as Goose Rocks Beach, pebbled with black rocks. The village is centred around Dock Square, known for its quaint boutiques, local craft shops, and renowned restaurants. Must-see attractions include the Brick Store Museum, housing a wonderful collection of historical artefacts; Nott's House, a mansion built in the mid-1800s; and the famous Seashore Trolley Museum, the world's oldest and largest museum of mass transit vehicles.
