KennebunkportJust 30 miles (48km) from Portland, Kennebunkport is a popular
destination for weekenders escaping the heat in big cities like
Boston and New York City. This pretty town is known for its
laid-back yet civilised atmosphere, with several golf courses,
antique shops, art galleries, and a busy harbour. It draws
well-to-do holidaymakers, and both Former President Bushes are
often seen at the family's nearby holiday home. The most popular
attraction in Kennebunkport is its beaches, however. Kennebunk
Beach, Gooch's Beach, Mother's Beach, and Parson's Beach are all
packed on weekends each summer. |
