In September and October you can still walk the beaches of Gooches, Mother’s Beach and Colony Beach in Kennebunkport…and it’s a much easier to find that parking space along Beach Ave. Fall brings cool crisp evenings, while you still have warm sunny summer days.

While the Maine Coast is most poluar in summer, the real seaside beauty of Kennebunkport extends to the fall, winter, and spring – the “off-season.” Those that fall (lol) for the charm of Kennebunkport’s coastal charm in quieter times, take advantage of the affordable rates at luxury hotels, inns and BnBs, and great dining deals, happy hours, and more. Many Kennebunkport restaurants remain open year round, no lines or waiting, walk in and enjoy with the locals. Here, I list my personal favorite restaurants in Kennebunkport.
