Things To Do
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse
This is the site of our wedding ceremony, and is, of course, stunning! Sunset is the best time to go. Be careful on the rocks and don’t get too close to the ocean when there are big waves.
Pemaquid Beach
Sarah's Dad (Daryl) used to work here when he was in high school, and it's a beach, so what isn't there to love? On a sunny day it's the perfect hangout location.
Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site
There's lots to discover and learn here, but the big thing we recommend is to go to Fort William Henry (we even took some engagement photos here!)
Wawenock Golf Club
A nice golf course close to both our ceremony and reception site, it's definitely worth checking out if you have the time and enjoy golfing. There's even a cafe that serves up some tasty bites.
Sherman's Maine Coast Book Shop Damariscotta
Sarah loves a good bookstore... and this is definitely a good one. There is a cute cafe attached serving up drinks and goodies.
Round Top Ice Cream
The best of the best! Sarah recommends the Raspberry Truffle ice cream, and Jordan recommends the Blueberry Pie ice cream. There is a little walk hidden behind Round Top with great views of the oyster banks. Don't fret too much if you don't make it here before the wedding as there may be some Round Top at the wedding.
Red's Eats
If you want to be part of all the hype (and incredibly long lines), head over to Reds Eats. We've never actually eaten there, as it's definitely a tourist place. If you go we would love to know how it is and if their famous lobster rolls are worth the wait.
Dodge Point Preserve
A lovely hike that Sarah has done her whole life, and now she brings Jordan along with her. Make sure you go down to the different beaches along the way.
Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
Confession: We have never been here in the summertime. However, we have been in the winter for the Gardens Aglow which are truly incredible. I've heard they're beautiful in the summer as well, so it's definitely worth checking out.
Mount Battie
You can either drive up or hike up. Either way, the view is beautiful at the top.
Hardy Boat Cruises
Take a cruise with Hardy Boat, and go either puffin watching, seal watching, or on a nature cruise! They also have a ferry to Monhegan Island.
