Enjoy the Outdoors
Kennebunk boasts three beautiful beaches: Gooch’s, Middle, and Mother’s. These long, wide, sandy beaches are the perfect place to walk, sun yourself, play in the surf, look for sand dollars, or enjoy the sight of the waves rolling into shore. In Kennebunkport, the three miles of Goose Rocks Beach are a favorite with walkers and the sand pail set. Colony Beach is the choice for those who love to scramble on rocks and watch the surf dash the shore. 
 
Surf, take a boat tour, climb on a stand-up paddleboard, or head out to sea on a whale watch. Whether strolling the serene grounds of St. Anthony’s Franciscan Monastery, kayaking on the Kennebunk and Mousam rivers, or walking or mountain biking the trails of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust—a favorite activity for the Bush family—there is always something to do. Both Kennebunk and Arundel have entrances to the Eastern Trail—a section of the East Coast Greenway, popular with those seeking to stretch their legs, no matter the season.
