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.
