Welcome to the Kennebunks Take a deep breath. Smell the tang of pine, the salt air. Hear the cries of the seagulls, the sounds of the waves crashing to the shore. This is Maine and, 200 years into its statehood, there is something timeless about its appeal. Here in the Kennebunks, you will find everything from working fishing villages to world-class restaurants featuring the bounty of the sea. Browse our shops and galleries, unwind in one of our luxurious inns or hotels, or revel in the great outdoors in one of our campgrounds. There’s plenty of space here to do it all, and still find time to be alone with your own thoughts. Be a part of our next 200 years, here in the Kennebunks. We’ll be waiting for you.

Celebrate with us Hundreds of years ago, people were drawn to the Kennebunks by the sea.

Town of Kennebunk’s official commemorative edition
Native Americans fished and built villages on its shores. Later, European settlers looked to the sea for sustenance and, eventually trade. Ships built on the banks of the Kennebunk River sailed around the world, carrying supplies and goods from Maine and bringing home exotic treasures and other necessities. One constant has been fishing, with men and women making a living off the bounty of the sea, including native lobsters.
Later, hotels and guest houses sprang up in the area, with east coast visitors coming up for the summer to enjoy the ocean breezes, so very different from their lives in the city. In the past 200 hundred years, shipbuilding faded away, fashions changed, but one thing has remained the same: People’s love of the sea. Today, residents and visitors alike enjoy spending time on the beaches and out on the water itself, with deep sea fishing, kayaking, sailing tours, standup paddle boarding and more. Local restaurants serve lobster and other treasures of the sea. And each day, lobstermen and women go out on their boats to bring in more. This year, the state of Maine celebrates its 200th anniversary as a state (and the town of Kennebunk does as well). So come, celebrate with us, walk in the steps of history, in our community by the sea.

Walker’s Point
The Bush estate is located on Walker’s Point along Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport.
Chris Becker photo
The summer home of the late President George H.W. Bush and Barbara, Walker’s Point has been visited by presidents, foreign heads of state and celebrities alike over the years. More importantly, though, it has been a haven for generations of Bush family members, who have enjoyed idyllic summer days away from the pressures of the outside world. Walker’s Point is not open to the public, but you can drive by or stop briefly at the scenic parking overlook to snap a quick picture. Vehicles may only stop in the designated parking area; stopping on the road is not permitted. To get to Walker’s Point, take Ocean
Robert Dennis
Avenue from Dock Square for photo approximately two miles. The ride is beautiful in and of itself, with the Atlantic crashing against the rocks along the right side of the road. Just before you reach Walker’s Point you’ll see the special overlook spot (please obey the rules posted on the sign) on the right. Also overlooking the house and on the right is the Anchor to Windward, the town’s special tribute to “41” installed in 2009.

Local Beaches

C.A. Smith Photography
Maine has more than 5,000 miles of coastline, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire state can be found here in the Kennebunks. Whether you’re a family looking to set up for that perfectly relaxing day at the beach or a surfer hoping to catch the ultimate wave, the beaches in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport offer some of the best fun in the sun. Kennebunk Beach: Mother’s, Middle & Gooch’s (Beach Avenue) These long, wide sandy beaches (and even rocky Middle Beach) are the perfect place to walk, sun yourself, play in the surf, look for sea treasures or just enjoy the sight of the waves rolling onto shore. There’s no better place to be on July 4, when fireworks explode overhead in a myriad of glittering lights. There are lifeguards and porta-potties at both Gooch’s Beach and Mother’s Beach from July through Labor Day. Mother’s Beach has a playground open to the public. While visitors are welcome at these beaches, a permit to park at the beach is required. Non-resident daily ($25), weekly ($100) and seasonal ($200) passes are easily available at the three parking kiosks and at the Kennebunk Town Hall. For more information, call the Kennebunk Town Hall at (207) 985-2102. 12 | gokennebunks.com
Local Beaches
C.A. Smith Photography
Shown here between high and low tides, Gooch’s Beach offers the biggest stretch of sand in Kennebunk.
Goose Rocks Beach (King’s Highway, off Route 9, north of Cape Porpoise) At three miles long, Goose Rocks Beach is a favorite with walkers as well as the sand pail set. The beach is wide, smooth, sandy and affords wonderful views of Eastern Goose Rocks and Timber Island, just off the coast. Parking permits are required ($25/$100/$200; note that Kennebunk permits cannot be used here) and are available at the Kennebunkport Police Station, Town Hall and the Goose Rocks General Store. For information, call the police station at (207) 967-2454. Colony Beach (off Ocean Avenue, near the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport) This beach (also known as Arundel Beach) is much appreciated by those who love to scramble on its rocks and watch the surf dash the shore. No parking permit is needed. Beach Wheelchairs: The Kennebunks have two beach wheelchairs for public use! Both are available to rent for a small fee through the towns’ recreation departments, Kennebunk Rec (207604-1335) and Kennebunkport Parks & Recreation (207-967-4304).

Biking / Hiking Ocean Avenue and Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport (8 miles): Definitely bring your camera on this ride. Head out of Dock Square on Ocean Avenue with the water on your right. You will be riding parallel to the Kennebunk River. Ocean Avenue is heavily traveled so families with young children may want to take another route. Bear right at the Wildes District Fire Station and stay on Wildes District Road all the way into Cape Porpoise. When you have had your fill of lobster, hop on your bike and backtrack your route into town. Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunkport (11 miles): From Dock Square take North Street to Arundel Road. Follow Arundel Road past the horse farm and take a right on to Goose Rocks Road. Ride Goose Rocks Road to the end and go straight across Route 9. At the end of Dyke Road you will find the pristine Goose Rocks Beach. This ideal family destination usually has very limited parking, but you won’t have that problem with a bike. This also happens to be the ride with the least amount of traffic. When it’s time to return, follow the same roads back to town. Kennebunk Beach, Kennebunk (7 miles): From Dock Square go over the bridge to the traffic light and take a left 14 | gokennebunks.com
onto Beach Avenue. Kennebunk Beach is now straight ahead about 1 mile. Follow the ocean for the next 2 miles. Where the road heads away from the ocean you will see Great Hill Road on the left. This dead-end road borders the Mousam River. After you turn around, take a left onto Boothby Road. This connects to Route 9 and will bring you back into the Port. This ride is good for adults and parents with children over 9 years old. Bridle Path, Kennebunk: Flat dirt path about two miles long that parallels the Mousam River and the marshes in Kennebunk. This is an excellent ride for beginners and families. Park at Sea Road School on Sea Road for access. Franciscan Monastery, Kennebunk Pass through the stone gate of the Franciscan Monastery and you enter a gracious English park with its sweeping lawns, simple gardens, the magnificent Our Lady of Lourdes grotto, and other statues and shrines. Bike riding is not allowed on the Monastery grounds. On foot, follow the paved path into the woods to see more statues and views of Kennebunkport across the Kennebunk River. Thousands come to enjoy these peaceful and expansive grounds every year. Open between sunrise and sunset, everybody is welcome to visit the
Biking / Hiking chapel, to walk the grounds, or to sit in contemplation or prayer on one of the many benches on the grounds. Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, Gravelly Brook Road: Trails vary in length, width, topography and use. Some are conducive to bird watching and viewing wildlife, others for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. kport trust.org. Eastern Trail: The Eastern Trail, a 65-mile section of the East Coast Greenway stretching from Kittery to South Portland, has two entrances: Kennebunk Elementary School off Alewive Road, and Limerick Road in Arundel. The trail is perfect for walking and cycling as well as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The trail, which is approximately 10 feet wide, is also dog-friendly. easterntrail.org. Kennebunk Land Trust: The Kennebunk Land Trust offers scenic spots for walking, hiking and riding. kennebunklandtrust.org. Wonderbrook Park, Kennebunk Muddy, hilly, technical loops of interconnected trails. They are short but fun and
include some bridge and log crossings. This is best combined with a road ride because of the short distance. Located at 16 Plummer Lane, off Summer Street. Trails of Hope Woods Located behind Hope Cemetery in Downtown Kennebunk near the junction of Summer Street and Main Street. Enjoy about 2 miles of well-marked trails through open and wooded areas and alongside Scotchman’s Brook. Hope Woods is well known for its many bird species. Access the trails through Hope Cemetery (Barnard Lane), at Fletcher Street (across from Mechanic Street), Wood Pond Lane (in cul de sac), or Woodhaven Drive (near intersection with Longwood). hopecemetery kennebunk.com/woods. Welch Woods, Arundel A beautiful, gentle half-mile loop through a peaceful forest with lovely ferns along the way. Trail crosses a small brook and leads to a clearing by the shore of the Kennebunk River. Rest a while on one of the benches built by the local Scout troop. Enjoy the serenity of the tidal marsh, and the gentle flow of the river. The perfect place for a picnic and some relaxation. Small off-road parking located just east of 227 River Road, Arundel.

Enjoy life on the water
The beaches in the Kennebunks have the perfect balance: not too hot, not too crowded, with just the right hint of ocean breeze. And while a day spent lying on the sand, watching the waves, can be perfection in and of itself, getting out ONTO the water can be pretty spectacular, too. Rent a kayak and tour the hidden inlets on shore, or test your endurance with standup paddle boarding or C.A. Smith Photography
surfing. Try your hand at deep sea fishing or go out on a real lobster boat and learn how to pull a trap in. You can enjoy a smooth sunset sail with a bottle of wine, or take a rollicking ride over the waves on a RIB boat. And here in the Kennebunks you’ll find the only whale watch tours between Portsmouth and Portland, where you can take in the majesty of whales breaching out at sea.

“the three-hour tour” You’ve only got the afternoon to “experience the Kennebunks,” so what do you do? Here’s our favorite three-hour tour:
CA Smith Photography
Drive along Beach Avenue from Cooper’s Corner and take in the Kennebunk beaches, Gooch’s, Middle and Mother’s. Feeling adventurous? Park (legally) and get out and sink your toes into the sand, or take a swing at the playground on Mother’s Beach. Then, dust off the sand, head back to the car and loop around in front of KBIA and drive back to Lower Village/Dock Square. (You can take in much the same sights – with narration! – on a 45-minute Intown Trolley tour.)
12 PM
Grab a lobster roll to go (every eatery makes one!) and a whoopie pie. Nothing says “taste of Maine” like those two. If you’re feeling adventurous, wash it down with a bottle of Moxie.
12:45
Better yet, do a tasting at Kennebunkport Brewing Co., the birthplace of Shipyard Ale, then wander next door to Honeymaker Meadworks for mead (think wine with honey) sampling. Steps away is Batson River Brewing & Distilling, and Sweetgrass Winery & Distillery up the hill.
1:15 PM

PM
“the three-hour tour” Do a little shopping! We have everything from fine art to T-shirts, candy to clothing.
1:45 PM
Shopped till you dropped? Head back to the car and see where generations of the Bush family lived and loved, as well as a symbol of the community’s love for them.
2:45 PM
Take Ocean Avenue out to Walker’s Point, the summer home of the Bush family. Along the way look right and take in the crashing waves. Just before Walker’s Point, pull over at the scenic overlook to grab a photo (history was made here, as two presidents entertained world leaders on the grounds) and read the heartfelt message from the locals to the elder President Bush on the monument An Anchor to Windward:
2:50 PM
“For our friend and 41st President George H.W. Bush. As he was for our nation and world during four years of tumultuous and historic change, so, too has Kennebunkport served, in the words of St. Paul, ‘as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stead’ to him. Presented by those who love him as much as he loves this special place.” Kennebunk • Kennebunkport • Arundel Chamber of Commerce | 23

Food & Dining
Cheers to gathering in the company of good friends around great food and drink!
The Maine Lobster Council will tell you that the world’s best lobster comes from Maine. But it’s even better to enjoy that lobster when you’re eating it in Maine. Visiting the Kennebunks, you’ll have the opportunity to do just that, whether you enjoy it at a seaside lobster bake or in one of the area’s lobster pounds, casual eateries or fine restaurants. You can have your lobster any way you like it, in a roll, as part of a pasta dish or in fajitas, also prepared in dozens of different ways, or simply with a little drawn butter on the side. And if lobster isn’t your thing, or you’ve simply eaten your fill, the region boasts 26 | gokennebunks.com

Events & Weddings
CA Smith Photography
What could be a more perfect backdrop for your wedding than the beautiful beaches and deep blue water of the Kennebunks? How about a stone church perched above crashing waves? Or an antique farmhouse overlooking the marsh? Or a turn-of-the-century resort with a rolling green lawn? All of these venues – and more – are available for those looking to exchange vows in Maine. In the last decade, the Kennebunks have become one of the country’s premier destination wedding locations, primarily because of the local beauty, but also because of the many activities your wedding party and guests can enjoy here. The destination is perfect and welcoming for all couples. Kennebunk • Kennebunkport • Arundel Chamber of Commerce | 57

Those who live here agree: The Kennebunks is the best community to call home! In 2015, Down East Magazine named the Kennebunks a Reader’s Choice “Best Places to Live” community; in 2014, the honor went to Arundel!
Did we mention superior education? U.S. News & World Report in 2016 ranked Kennebunk High School as the fifth best in Maine out of 113 schools. Only 26 Maine schools made the ranks from the 31,242 U.S. public high schools considered.
We couldn’t agree more. The communities offer all the necessary components for good quality of life — superior education, low crime rate, superb beaches, rivers, parks and trails, and great neighbors. It’s also rich with architecture, boutique shopping, art galleries and a variety of restaurants.
Kennebunk was also ranked Maine’s “safest city” for the past four years, according to Safe Choice Security, citing its low violent crime and property crime rates. Won’t you join us in living “the way life should be”?

The Kennebunks have it all when it comes to retirement. Besides the beautiful scenery and relaxed lifestyle, the thriving community offers a convenient location, a variety of health-care and recreation options, as well as quality retirement centers. Taking these all into account, SmartAsset recently ranked Kennebunk as the No. 1 retirement community in Maine, and No. 36 nationally. According to this report, 30 percent of Kennebunk’s population is retirement age, and this community has vibrant retirement and recreation centers for our senior population.
Want to know more? Ask a senior citizen (they’re involved in everything from running our towns’ festivals to volunteering in the local classrooms) and they’ll tell you why they love to call the Kennebunks home.

History White Columns Kennebunkport The First Families Kennebunkport Museum, at White Columns in the heart of Kennebunkport, offers visitors a chance to tour an 1853 Greek Revival home and view exhibitions covering two centuries of local history, from sea captains to presidents. Guided tours present stories and artifacts from the lives of Charles and Celia Perkins, whose fortunes were connected to the thriving shipbuilding era of Kennebunkport. The museum also features sea captains and shipbuilders to rusticators to Kennebunkport’s most famous summer resident, late President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush and their family. There is also a Museum Store with a selection of maritime history collectibles, presidential memorabilia, and unique Kennebunkport treasures. — Kennebunkport Historical Society 112 | gokennebunks.com
Arundel history In the mid-1600s, Arundel’s first settlers kept close to the coastline both for easy access to the ocean and to escape from local Native Americans. The settlers finally abandoned the settlement in the late 1600s and did not return until around 1720 when relations with Native Americans improved. The new settlement, named Arundel, grew along the Kennebunk River. After 1750, people began to settle west of what is now Route 1 and started farming the rest of Arundel. Around 1800, as the religious climate changed, small churches and meeting houses served to draw the local people together. Although those small churches have disappeared, several of the early farms and a few of the farmhouses still exist today. When Arundel’s secession from Kennebunkport became official in 1916, it lost its direct connection with the coast and remained a rural town composed primarily of farms. Today, Arundel is one of the fastest-growing towns in the state, and is home to both industry and local businesses, while maintaining much of its rural character. — Arundel Historical Society
History Brick Store Museum, Kennebunk Brick Store Museum, Kennebunk: In 1936, in the middle of the Great Depression, Edith Cleaves Barry opened the Brick Store Museum on Main Street in Kennebunk. This town was recognized nationally for its shipbuilding prowess in the 19th century, and by the early 20th century it turned into a nationwide tourist and artist mecca. Though the town preserved its small-town charm, it consistently spearheaded trends on a national level. Edith Barry inherited a brick general store building, built in 1825, from her uncle, William Barry, in the early 1930s, and knew immediately that she would open a museum dedicated to the story of this area. When the Brick Store Museum opened in 1936, it became one of only 10 museums in the entire country to open between the Great Depression
and World War II. Edith Barry funded the museum with her own money and invested her time and hard work for the rest of her life. The Museum absorbed four other buildings on the block, all built between 1810 and 1860, to house its collection of over 70,000 artifacts relating to the culture of the Kennebunks.
