Fun & Food

General ideas of things to do here

Golfing, biking, boating, hiking, fishing, swimming, surfing and more.

Surfboard Rentals

Acquaholics Surf Shop is 3 minutes from Gooch's break, 15 from Fortune's Rock break, and 15 from Well's break. This time of year you'll want a 3/2 wetsuit. Typically hood, gloves and booties are not needed.

Whale Watching

Bike + Kayak Rental

Smith preserve - hiking, biking, running

Victor mountain bikes here often. The preserve is a well maintained trail system of stream crossing, and big slabs of granite. With four distinct loop, the total trail network is about 12 miles. Great way to spend an afternoon hiking, biking, or running.

Intown Trolley, Hop on Hop off

Great way to see the highlights of Kennebunkport. 45 minutes roundtrip, makes hourly stops at eight locations. Hop on and off at your liesure. Picks up right in front of The Nonantum.

Hurricane Restaurant

Our favorite place for oysters. Fancy, but beach fancy, where you'll find boat shoes and salmon shorts in the center of downtown. We love to sit at the bar and order everything on the menu.

Ramp Bar & Grill

Kind of divey, and a short drive from downtown, but right on the water where the lobster boats unload. Enjoy the bouy artwork, the wild paraphernalia, and charming, excellent service.

The Pilot House

Bob Sullivan's favorite watering hole. This is the locals' joint, right in the heart of downtown. Stop in for a quick one, but be careful. You may stay until last call.

Ryan's Corner House Irish Pub

Best Irish bar in town. We love the Guinness here and the intimate setting. It almost feels like Ireland.

Batson River Brewing & Distilling

With outdoor, fireside seating, and swanky urban digs, this is the newest place in town that makes you want to be cool.
