Walker's Point

The oceanfront home of former President George Bush.

Reviewed By Q7081RYrichardl - Chagrin Falls, United States

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.

This location has lovely walking trails throughout, and takes a gentle slope down to the water where you can see the tidal flow and the boats.

Gooch's Kennebunk Beach

Reviewed By Jgifas - Montvale, United States

We were two families of 4. You can buy parking through the app so you don’t have to track down passes. It was very convenient. The beach was lovely. Bigger waves were nice but the water was Cold. There was a surf class going on. We walked down a few beaches. All beautiful. Lots of room to throw a ball. Had a great day. Would go back.

Kennebunk Beach

The shoreline of this popular swimming beach is dotted with large granite rocks.

Reviewed By hookedline - Rochester, United States

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.

Goose Rocks Beach

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.

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.

Parson's Way

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)

Parsons Beach

Reviewed By redeco - Warren, United States

Parson's Beach is very private with few visitors because of restrictive parking...only 6 or 7 parking spaces on Parson's Beach Road. Adjacent to the road is a tidal marsh with a few benches where you can sit and enjoy the quiet...shore birds, fish, and shells...lovely. You can walk along the Mousam River to the beach. Beach is private; beware of disturbing residents. Lovely at low tide.

President Bush Compound

Reviewed By Visilea - Antlers, United States

Driving along the ocean, you can come across this monument dedicated for former President of the United States George HW Bush. The view of the residence with the rocks and the ocean is quite spectacular.
