Wow. Visitors come to the region just to visit the Gardens. A beautiful spot, great walking, and current exhibit of giant trolls is impressive to say the least. Advance tickets required.
One of our favorite woods walks nearby leads over to beautiful view of the Damariscotta River. Under 4 miles, but be sure to follow the trail markers!
Park along the road and walk the dramatic granite ledge round Ocean Point - look out to sea, you may spot a seal or porpoise.
This casual spot offers plenty of Maine fare, a selection of oysters, and live music most evenings.
Very reliable dinner on the harbor with tasty alternatives to seafood.
The fanciest place in Boothbay Harbor is known for way-above average food and a really nice deck at the head of the harbor. Reservations recommended here.
Go-to spot for take-out breakfast sandwiches and donuts. They also serve some tasty Vietnamese food.
Shuck your own and slurp them down with a beer at this renowned oyster farm. Its a bit of a drive (30 minutes +/-) from Linekin Bay, but there is a nice walking trail nearby too - Dodge Point Preserve.
Blueberry ice cream. Lots of other flavors too but you are in Maine!
