10 Things to do Good for Couples in Kennebunkport That You Shouldn't Miss
It took George H.W. Bush to make Kennebunkport known to most of the country, but New Englanders have enjoyed this quiet coastal Maine town for years. In hot weather, beaches are a major draw, but Kennebunkport's many small boutiques, art galleries and restaurants make a visit fun at any time of year. Inveterate shoppers may want to combine a visit to Kennebunkport with a trip to nearby Kittery, where dozens of outlets and factory stores offer plenty of bargains.

1. Rugosa Lobster Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 920 reviews
This is a demonstration of lobster fishing and information about lobster biology, Maine lobster fisheries, commercial aspects of the fishery and last but not least, some local history. Fun for the whole family. The Rugosa is a real wooden lobster boat out on the Gulf of Maine and in terms of information shared by the tour guide, children must be at least 6 years. Very young children can be a distraction to the rest of the guests aboard the boat, enjoying the presentation. THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 CRISIS, WE WILL BE TAKING ONLY 10 PEOPLE PER TRIP FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WILL USE ALL PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.

I visited this little gem in the heart of downtown Kennebunkport I can't say enough good things about this shop. I was greeted by happy smiling faces the minute I walked in the door. The owners Nick and Deb we're so welcoming. They had wonderful suggestions on balsamics and oils to try and pair together. I also got some great ideas for recipes! They have some amazing gift baskets and beautiful gifts as well. I highly recommend this be one of your stops in this beautiful little town.

Summer home of two Bush Presidents - lots of history and a place for great picture taking; it can be busy so wait patiently for a safe parking place.

My favorite beach here. I love to walk my dog and have him play with other dogs on the beach. And it's a great way to meet other people who are both visiting or live here.
8. Goose Rocks Beach
Overall Ratings

Quiet and family-oriented Maine beach.
Reviewed By hulaboynewengland
Goose Rocks Beach is undoubtedly one of the nicest beaches in the Northeast. It is truly a family beach with soft sand and a protected shore that allows small children to play in the water without massive waves. The water temperature is not as low as you might think - it's very enjoyable and refreshing, even for grandparents! Sand Dollar Real Estate is the place to go to find convenient rental properties. They are amazingly helpful and have a large stock of vacation properties (of every kind and description). Check out their webisite.
9. Ocean Avenue

This scenic drive in Kennebunkport passes by former President George Bush's summer home.
Reviewed By Anonymous671 - Newburyport, United States
Beautiful homes on one side of the road and the mighty Atlantic Ocean on the other side with the Bush compound and charming St Ann’s church thrown in for good measure.
10. Parson's Way
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 73 reviews
Located off Ocean Avenue, this popular walking path winds along Kennebunkport's rugged and scenic coastline.
Reviewed By beths1030 - Dracut, United States
Ok so I was a bit confused about Parsons Way and Ocean Ave. I realized that Parsons Way is Ocean Ave. It's a part of the coastline that a man donated to Kennebunkport. It's not a separate trail. It is a must do walk. I recommend walking since the road has cars on it and it's pretty narrow meaning bikes often are right up to the sidewalk. Also on foot you can really enjoy the coastline, St. Ann's church, the gorgeous houses finally ending at Walkers point. It only took us about an hour to walk up and back to Colony beach (also on Ocean Ave)
