“The soul of the coast” is calling my name and my friends at Brown’s Wharf Inn have me researching Boothbay Harbor Maine and it sounds like my kind of town. Frizzy hair and plump pores mean summer is already here in Florida which has me thinking I need some place cool to visit.
Located just over an hour’s drive northeast of Portland, Maine, Boothbay Harbor is referred as the “The Boating Capital of New England” because of the abundance of fishing and recreational watercraft. Sea kayaking, whale and puffin watching trips, and sailing excursions are activities I would enjoy as a solo traveler, I’d love to check out the lighthouses, hiking trails and what sounds to be a very cool 1,000-foot-footbridge connecting the inner harbor.
Where to stay? According to TripAdvisor, the largest online travel community, Brown’s Wharf Inn is the best Boothbay Harbor Inn to rest a weary head. Run by the third generation of the Brown family, the inn offers modern conveniences with coastal charm with its 70 water view hotel rooms, suites and couple of cottages, marina, and access to superb fishing.
A gigantic statue of “The Old Lobster Fishermen” welcomes visitors to this Boothbay Harbor Inn and the Brown’s Wharf Restaurant and Lounge has been serving locals and visitors for more than 50 years. Enjoy fresh lobster pulled from local waters (and watch lobsters scurrying near the inn’s docks) and I’m sure there are some tasty desserts made with the state’s official berry, wild blueberries. The Old Salt Shed Lounge oozes with history. It dates back to the 1700s when it housed salt which fishermen used to salt their cod. Today, it’s a cool place to grab a cocktail. Boothbay Harbor and Brown’s Wharf Inn sound like the refreshing summer vacation destination I need.
Thank you to Brown’s Wharf Inn for supporting my traveling habit.
You shouldn’t be disappointed if you go up there. Beautiful scenery. Windjammer cruises available in the area along with Lobster bakes.
