The King's Port Inn, located in the heart of Kennebunkport, would like to take this opportunity to share some local attractions to our guests not farmiliar with the area. These attractions are what makes Kennebunkport a lovely tourist spot and a beautiful seaside community. We hope you have time to visit and enjoy these great destinations. To name a few:
1. Walker's Point, the Bush Compound. Located off Ocean Avenue, 2 miles from the center of town, is the summer home of former president George H. W. Bush. There is a small shoulder off the road, where you can pull over and take pictures of the Compound. The estate has been in the family for over 100 years.
2. Kylie's Chance Lobster Tour. Sitting behind the Pilot House, on the pier, is the lobster boat Kylie Chance. This 1 and 1/2 hour tour takes you up the Kennebunk River, past Walker's Point, and past the manions on Ocean Avenue. Then the lobster traps are brought out of the water and you can see what was caught the night before. A perfect Maine outing.
3. Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge. Located off Rt. 9 in Wells, this refuge is a terrific place to go for a walk and enjoy nature's scenery. Walk through the salt marsh and forested uplands: a beautiful area that Rachel Carson would have loved.
4. World Famous Clam Shack. The Clam Shack is one of the most popular take out stands in the world. Located right on the Kennebunk Bridge, this stand-up shack offers the best lobster rolls in town. Lobster rools are cloaked in both butter and mayo to satisfy every vacationer.
5. Kennebunk Beach. Located off Beach Avenue, Kennebunk Beach is comprised of 3 smaller beach heads: Gooches Beach, Middle Beach and Mother's Beach. Parking is free during the off season and the beach is easily accessible. During the summer months beach passes are available for only $5 day for guests at the King's Port Inn.
