What can I do there??

I love Kennebunkport. I love the location near the water, the small town life that we have here, and all of the activities that we have year round.


As an innkeeper, I try to experience all of the amenities in Kennebunkport and the surrounding towns so I can give my guests accurate feedback on them.


It seems that each time I talk to a guest, they seem amazed that there is so much to do here in Kennebunkport and at Cabot Cove. I have compiled a random list of some things that I suggest that guests at Cabot Cove Cottages do. Please let me know if you have any other additions..

Walk to downtown Kennebunkport ‘s “Dock Square” and explore the many fine shops, galleries and restaurants; wander to the harbor to look for yachts and tuna boats.

Visit stately summer homes, not the least of which belongs to George and Barbara Bush.
Walk tree line streets showcasing 18th and 19th century architecture built by merchants and sea captains.

Build sand castles, swim or be a beachcomber at one of the three beaches in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport.
