The Boothbay Harbor area has many rocky shorelines, peninsulas, and coves to navigate. One of the best places to explore the coastline is Barrett’s Park in Boothbay Harbor. It’s located just across Lewis Cove from Linekin Bay Resort. The park is known as a good spot to walk dogs, has a great view of the water, and has a beach where swimming is popular. Just a few minutes drive from Linekin Bay Resort, Barrett’s Park in Boothbay Harbor is the ideal spot for a picnic. Pack a blanket to sit on the ground or take advantage of the park’s picnic tables. Bring a bite from The Deck Bar & Grill to bring on a picnic. Then, sit back and enjoy the ocean view from the park. Head across Lewis Cove in a kayak for a fun adventure and rewarding challenge. Check out a kayak from the docks at Linekin Bay Resort and launch into an excursion to Barrett’s Park! The trip across the cove takes only about 10 minutes!
