Food Scene
A five minute walk from the cottage, this is a great place for lunch, dinner, drinks and nibbles... They have a gas fire pit on the deck, and often have live music at night (folk or background music). If it's rainy you can enjoy your beverage in front of the big fireplace in the lobby. My favorite place to go in the whole Boothbay Region!

Sightseeing
A favorite cruise if you like to sail is aboard the schooner Eastwind. The two-hour voyage aboard Boothbay Harbor's largest schooner gives you time to relax and see the Maine coastline. Lighthouses, fishing lobstermen, wildlife, and remote islands accessible only by boat dot the seascape. The sunset cruise is very special! $40 per person

Parks & Nature
I love the Boothbay Region Land Trust! The sweet Hendrick's Head Trail is right next to the town beach on Southport. My favorite trail, though, is the Porter Preserve on Barter's Island (a 15 minute drive). Trails meander through old growth spruce, oak and pine along half mile of shorefront on the Sheepscot and Back rivers with lovely scenic vistas. There is a sheltered cove with a beach and a small offshore island known as Lydia Ann’s Island.
