Boothbay Harbor is a coastal town in Maine that offers the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. A rich history, delicious dining, and several quaint boutiques ensure that there’s plenty to do here. Quiet coves, rocky shores and old lighthouses at Boothbay are ideal for leisurely explorations. Known as the ‘Boating Capital of New England,’ the town hosts a bustling harbour that conducts more than 25 daily boat excursions. Travellers can enjoy views of the scenic coast and also get opportunities to see the nearby islands. A variety of wildlife such as puffins, seals and whales inhabit the waters around Boothbay. There are many local boatyards along the coast where one can see the tradition of world-class boat building that exists even today. A popular tourist highlight is the 100-year old Boothbay Railway Village, which houses an impressive collection of antique autos, historic buildings and a narrow-gauge railway ride. The area is also home to several beautiful hiking trails that wind through lush meadows, forests, and wetlands.
