the opportunity for you and your pet to enjoy the

Sea: Ogunquit’s Bridal Show is held in November.
Winter brings Christmas By the Sea, Mardi Gras,
ice skating, and the opportunity to pamper yourself
with a spa treatment. In the evening enjoy a specialty
wine dinner or musical entertainment at one of many
fantastic area restaurants. Then return to your room
to soak in a hot tub or curl up by a crackling fire.
Discover the charm of Ogunquit in all four seasons
and see what you’ve been missing.
Artists discovered Ogunquit’s inspirational
scenery over a century ago. They helped transform
the quaint fishing hamlet into one of the most picturesque and enjoyed seaside villages in New England.
While artists provide an array of fine collectibles
and artwork sought throughout the East Coast and
displayed in our intimate museums, it’s the worldclass beach and magnificent coastline that attract
visitors from around the globe.

Beaches in The Kennebunks
The Kennebunks offer some of the most beautiful
and accessible beaches on the Atlantic Seaboard.
Whether you’re just a lazy beachcomber hunting for shells or a surfer hoping to ride the perfect
wave, the beaches are great!
Kennebunk, Mother’s & Gooch’s Beach
Beach Avenue, Off Routes 9 & 35
These long, wide sandy beaches are the perfect place
to walk, sun yourself, play in the surf, look for sand
dollars or just enjoy the sight of the waves rolling
into shore. There’s no better place to be on July 4th,
when fireworks explode overhead in a myriad of
glittering lights. There are lifeguards and public restrooms at both Gooch’s Beach and Mother’s Beach
from July through Labor Day.
Parking Permit Required: Please call the Kennebunk
Town Hall for prices at 207.967.4243.

Arundel Beach
Off Ocean Avenue, near the Colony Hotel
This beach (also known as Colony Beach) is much
appreciated by those who love to scramble on its rocks
and watch the surf dash the shore. No permit needed.
Parson’s Beach
Off Route 9, south of the Lower Village.
A little off the beaten path. Parson’s Beach is mostly private with limited access. It offers almost a mile-long stretch
of white powder. Popular not only with beach goers, but
many days you will find sport fishing enthusiasts working
the tides for sea bass and blue fish. No
permit required.

Gathering Of The Scarecrows
Have you wondered where scarcrows go at the end of
the growing season? Legends tell us that scarecrows
begin to “gather” in October at a secret location to
discuss the following growing season before being
blown away by November’s chilly winds. Beginning
in October, scarecrows begin arriving in Kennebunk,
lower village and Kennebunkport.
The 30th Annual Christmas Prelude
Two magical weekends filled with caroling, tree lighting, wonderful shopping, a whimsical hat parade,

Dining/Entertainment: Biddeford and Saco have
an abundance of restaurants that feature family-style
menus, international cuisine and, of course, the best
Maine seafood, much of it local.
The 500-seat Biddeford City Theater, considered one
of the most acoustically perfect in Maine, is listed on the
National Historic Register. Concerts, plays, lectures, film
showings and other programs are regularly scheduled at
the magnificently restored facility.
