We hope you’ll be back!
Welcome to the Kennebunks!
We’re so glad you chose to visit the Kennebunks today! Here you’ll find the best that
New England has to offer – a charming seaside community with world-class dining,
superb shopping and a rich history. We are home to the Bushes and wide, sandy beaches,
lobster shacks and the Goat Island Lighthouse.
We hope you enjoy your visit today. More importantly, we hope you’ll return another
time to find out why so many of us love the Kennebunks, a modern escape with timeless
appeal.
The Kennebunks — Kennebunk,
Kennebunkport and Arundel — are
beautiful all year ‘round, and certainly worth a second visit!
