Itinerary
We'll cycle through the Kennebunkport Historic District, where sea captains and captains of industry once built their stately mansions. We'll pause to learn about one of the homes and stroll through a lush flower garden dedicated to one of America's favorite first ladies.
A breathtaking coastal route featuring rocky crags, crashing waves, sandy beach views, and splendid summer homes. It's the Maine coast encapsulated.
An iconic historic church, featuring stunning stone architecture, beautiful stained glass windows, and amazing ocean views. While we watch the sailboats go by, we'll talk about the history of the location and then take a peak inside.
The one-time "summer White House." We'll stop to take pictures and learn about the lives of Kennebunkport's most famous summer residents.
A working fishing/lobster pier featuring incredible harbor views. From here we can see the Goat Island Lighthouse, which dates back to the 19th century. You'll learn about the lighthouse's history and take pictures of the beautiful ring of islands surrounding the harbor.
We'll visit one of the most beautiful stretches of sandy beach in New England. As you gaze back along the coastline and marvel at how far we've come, you might catch a glimpse of a harbor seal bobbing in the surf.
Before heading back to town, your tour will wind down a dirt road from the Emmons Preserve, one of the conservation crown jewels of the Kennebunkport area. This former farm has been fully reclaimed by a stately forest of white pines and red maples.

About Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport is a Maine seaside village at the mouth of the Kennebunk River, known for lobster boats, grand summer houses and rocky coves.
Kennebunkport lies on the southern coast of Maine, where the Kennebunk River runs into the Atlantic past wooden docks and a tidy village square. Shipbuilding once made the town rich, and the sea captains' houses and nineteenth-century summer hotels still line the lanes. Ocean Avenue winds along the rocky shore to Walker's Point, the summer home of the Bush family, which can be seen from the road.
