We never claimed to have the best views, but our guests did!! AS an Innkeeper, my favorite story involved a guest who was a photographer. This photographer enjoyed taking pictures of churches and he had traveled all over our country photographing churches. There he found this same gold telephone. That personifies, Boothbay Harbor!!!!!!!! Was so fortunate to have lived there for about 7 years.
I loved the summer season with the downtown area alive with people having fun. I loved being able to open my kitchen window and smell the ocean. A magical time. Great place to stay right on the water. Toured the lighthouses, great shopping in town and great food. Would go again in a heartbeat. Boothbay was my favorite stop on my trip to Maine. Loved the Botanical Garden! I took a cruise to see the various lighthouses and the scenery was picture-perfect—just like in the magazines!
Shopping downtown was super, and the lobster roll at Boothbay Lobster Wharf was outstanding! What a wonderful little town!! Been going to Boothbay Harbor for years. Will always go back. Grammie from CT. The newer rooftop deck is an ideal to have a pre-dinner cocktail.
The boat trips are great. Been on all of them. Puffin Island was interesting. Along with dolphin and whale watching, it offers tours with lobster hauling and puffin watching. For more intimate boat tours, consider hopping aboard a windjammer or sailboat.
Schooner Lazy Jack Cruises operates two-hour tours and private charters on the oldest sailboat in the harbor.
Sitting on the shore of West Boothbay Harbor, Maine State Aquarium has a collection of regional invertebrates and fish in the granite-like cliffs of its main gallery.
