MAINE BEACHES With everything from nature walks along 30+ miles of sandy coastline to Broadway-level entertainment, tasty seafood shanties, and a beachside amusement park, the whimsical towns of this region, just south of Greater Portland, offer fun for the whole family. Lighthouses and welcoming places to stay dot the seascape amid elegant sea-captain mansions and cliffside hotels. Fine dining and engaging nightlife complement great shopping in antiques shops, local boutiques, and outlet stores, along with the Bush home at Walker’s Point. Don’t miss Kennebunkport’s festive Christmas Prelude the first two weeks of December.
