Latest Boothbay Harbor hotel reviews
rick4003 Says: There are many sightseeing boat trips all along the piers. From local recommendations and my own experience, Cap'n Fish is the best. They offer a variety of trips from whale watching to coastal lighthouse tours.

GottaTry Says: You can take a variety of different boat trips from the harbor. Different cruise companies have booths down near the water front offering harbor tours, lighthouse tours, fishing boats, whale watches, seal rocks, sunset sails etc. You will also see flyers posted for...
Department of Marine Resources...
catherine_j Says: Department of Marine Resources AquariumA particularly good place to visit if you've got kids with you, although I wouldn't recommend going more than once. Here you can see the various sorts of aquatic life that live in the Boothbay region, and learn a few things about them....
catherine_j Says: It's a bit of a drive from Boothbay, but Reid State Park is home to a rarity in Maine -- beautiful, clear, long beaches. It's definitely worth the trouble to get there. Go for a walk or try some bodysurfing on the mile- or half-mile-beach, or visit the lagoon. One warning --...
catherine_j Says: If you've got access to a small powerboat, spend a day going from island to island and enjoying the outdoors. The Burnt Island lighthouse, just outside the harbor, is beautiful. Through the Townsend Gut and into the Sheepscot River, you can pick raspberries on Powerderhorn,...
McSeagulls: Decent view, great chowder, huge lobster rolls
Bunsch Says: McSeagulls is cursed with a ridiculous name and an ambiance just slightly more welcoming than a truck stop, but it's on the waterfront in Boothbay Harbor and I have to say that we were totally satisfied with the clam chowder (a huge bowl, enough for a dinner by itself) and...
MOOSEHEAD COFFEE AND GIFT SHOP: A NICE PLACE TO EAT
Rich62 Says: IT IS A SMALL BUT FUN place to eat. We just had salads and sandwiches. It was good.
The Lobster Dock: Forget The Rest - This Place IS the BEST!
Cookin Says: I must have eaten at every place in the Boothbay Region and I have to admit - The Lobster Dock is the best place not only in town, but in the state of Maine itself (and maybe even the east coast). I consider myself a pretty fair judge of good food - and The Lobster Dock is...

Robinson's Wharf: Robinson's Wharf
catherine_j Says: Located right on the water, Robinson's was once rated one of the ten best lobster restaurants in Maine by Downeast magazine. Sit out on the dock and watch the boats while you eat. One or more of the big, red Winslow tugboats is usually tied up at the wharf, and you can watch...
Edgecomb Potters: Exquisitely glazed porcelains
Bunsch Says: The promotional literature describes things this way: In 1976, Richard and Chris Hilton began building a dream of making pottery in a one-room schoolhouse on the road to Boothbay Harbor. Thirty years later, Edgecomb Potters has a national brand recognition for a high caliber...
Danger: Snotty Rich People 1 mile ahead
Rich62 Says: Now don't get me wrong here, we love to visit Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor, but..........before we went our first time, we were "warned" by a native Maine resident (my wife's uncle) that for some reason, Boothbay appeals not just to wealthy people, but to snotty wealthy...
LynnieAB Says: Hey.. If you decide to go on one of the whale watching or seal watching or whatever type things... They tell you to bring a jacket. BRING ONE! I'm not sure about in the middle of summer, but the breeze over the ocean there is definately chilly. CAMERA AND FILM!
tweldon Says: Just what kind of a clothes hound are you? Most restaurants are accommodating to casually dressed tourists - and that would be the only place asking for dressy clothing. Pack 1 nice size bag with slippers, docksiders and sneeks - take a sweater or jacket, and I suggest that...
watch stained glass being made
vatrmn Says: A wonderful off beat experience (directions from chamber of commerce or most hotels). This is an out of the way studio located at the end of scenic Lobster Cove Road. Swim or picnic at Barretts Park after a visit to this talented artists hide away. An impressive collection...
Park your car at the shopping...
tweldon Says: Park your car at the shopping center lot and walk (it isn't very far or very challenging) or take the trolley down to the center of town. Then just start sightseeing. Every shop has wonderful treasures and the people are so interesting. Many shopowners are 'from away' and...
