The greatest, most succulent ice cream nearby. Possibly in all of Maine. Handcrafted in Southern Maine. Try the Cinnamon Caramel, Chai Cardamom, Honey Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Lemon Pink Peppercorn, Molasses Gingersnap, and Strawberry Basil. Who am I kidding, try all of them.
Quintessential candy store with killer fudge. Try the Mudslide or the Penuche. There's also classic taffy, every flavor of Jelly Belly's ... just down the block from Daytrip Society in the heart of Dock Square, Kennebunkport.
Colony Beach (private, rocky beach, right across the street from our venue!) Goose Rocks Beach / Kennebunkport (big, quiet, peaceful, great for long walks and star gazing) Mother's Beach / Kennebunk (a smaller beach with a terrific playground, for the kids!) Gooch's Beach / Kennebunk (beautiful stretch of beach, good for walking, running, swimming, surfing)
A beautiful and contemplative Monastic Estate near the beach in Kennebunk. Walk the grounds, light a candle inside the Monastery, visit the shrines, explore the trails behind the buildings that open out into the marshlands and ocean.
