There's far more to do in the Kennebunks than one could possibly do in one visit during the summer. Once in the Kennebunks, you'll discover why visitors return for all seasons.

The Kennebunks offer arts, architecture, antiques, shopping, boating and much more. Both Kennebunk and Kennebunkport have historic districts steeped in local lore, and offer tours of the homes of sea captains and shipbuilders. Shoppers in search of unique gifts and treasures will find them in the shops and galleries Dock Square and downtown Kennebunk.

Visitors can see the area on bike, foot, by car or by trolley. Or explore the seas aboard a lobster boat, on a whale watch, a charter boat, a kayak or a canoe.  Don't miss Cape Porpoise and the view of Goat Island Lighthouse.

February Is For Lovers in the Kennebunks, and time for a romantic getaway. Spring brings still more special promotions and packages. Fall is the season for spectacular foliage and quiet walks along the beach. Celebrate a real old-fashioned holiday during Kennebunkport's Christmas Prelude, and rekindle memories of Christmas long ago.

Whatever the season, whatever the reason, you'll find the Kennebunks have it all. Award-winning restaurants, gracious accommodations and activities for all ages.
