Summer Season 2017

Top 10 Things to Do in the Boothbay Region

1. Visit a lighthouse. The Balmy Days at Pier 8 has a harbor tour that will take you past lighthouses or even better purchase tickets for the Burnt Island Living Lighthouse Program and travel back in time.
2. Take a hike. We have miles of public trails in the area. The Boothbay Region Land Trust has maps or just walk along our public roads for a scenic walk.
3. Get tickets for a concert at the Opera House. This is a great venue for a variety of musical entertainment. There isn't a bad seat in the house. It's a quick stroll from the apartment so no need to worry about parking. 
4. Pack a picnic for Grimes Cove or Hendrick's Head Beach. The best sandwiches can be found at the East Boothbay General Store. 
5. Visit the Farmer's Market every Thursday on the Boothbay Common.
6. Rent a kayak or paddle board at the Tidal Transit Company.
7. Visit the Department of Marine Resources Aquarium. 
8. Get tickets for the Cabbage Island Clambake. 
9. Tour the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
10. Shop for locally made artwork and crafts: Boothbay Region Art Foundation, Anderson Studio, Mung Bean, Anne Hedgecock (at the art fairs on the library lawn).

Summer Season 2013

VISTA LINEKIN COTTAGE
We are filling up fast for the 2013 summer season.  If you have an interest in the cottage on Ocean Point we only have two summer weeks available.  Don't dismiss the months of June and September for your visit.  June is the occasion of our annual Windjammer Festival and is still relatively quiet.  September and October are my favorite months of the year.  The days are warm and the nights are cool.  You can still catch a boat trip and eat out at one of our great area restaurants.  Visit www.homeaway.com for an up to date calendar.  The property number is 162110.

MACKEREL SKY SUITE
Our cozy one bedroom apartment in the harbor is a great way to experience our local way of life.  We are within walking distance of McSeagull's restaurant, a great place to listen to local music and have a cocktail.  Spend an afternoon looking at books from local authors at Sherman's or catch the ferry to Monhegan Island and walk around the scenic island paths.  For an up-to-date calendar visit www.homeaway.com. The property number is 300229.
