Coastal Maine

My cousin Melissa and I are OBSESSED with finding the best lobster rolls in New England. With me in Scituate and she in Kittery ME we have abundant of choices around us. On a recent trip up to visit her we made the short ride to Kennebunkport ME. It is absolutely one of my favorite places that I have visited in ME. Melissa, myself and my favorite little buddy Riley headed out for a coastal girls day!

cutest little sidekick!

First stop was a  coastal cruise on aboard a lobster boat. We saw beautiful houses, inns, beaches and former President George Bush summer compound. It is a great way to check out the scenery from the ocean, we also spotted a few seals and pulled a lobster trap that had a few lobsters. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable, it was a fun activity especially for Riley!

Next we headed in search of a lobster roll, we landed at Arundel Wharf Restaurant. This place is a short walk out of the center of town. It is right on the water with patio seating as well as a tented deck that has the same feel of being outside. We had a few pints and delicious lobster rolls, this one is up there as one of our faves! They keep it simple with just a tad of mayo and on a toasted bun but they really do not skimp on the lobster. Definitely visit if you are in the area.

Afterwards we strolled through the center of town where there are plenty of unique shops, art galleries, ice cream shops and restauraunts. I love going to the little shops and hope to find some cool coastal finds for our house. Kennebunkport is really a great town that is worth the drive. It is a quaint coastal New England town that has something for everyone and is beautiful year round.
