Where is boothbay harbor

Not ours! One of many islands surrounding Boothbay Harbor, McFarland Island helps make this the picture-perfect setting for a Maine vacation. Who call it that? The article is a bit shallow, with much, much more to do with so many resorts, coves and harbors.

And getting out on the water is what makes Boothbay truly unique. I cannot get enough of Boothbay Harbor and Maine — beautiful. A little piece of heaven on earth. We never claimed to have the best views, but our guests did!! AS an Innkeeper, my favorite story involved a guest who was a photographer.

This photographer enjoyed taking pictures of churches and he had traveled all over our country photographing churches. There he found this same gold telephone.

That personifies, Boothbay Harbor!!!!!!!! Was so fortunate to have lived there for about 7 years. I loved the summer season with the downtown area alive with people having fun. I loved being able to open my kitchen window and smell the ocean. A magical time.

Great place to stay right on the water. Toured the lighthouses, great shopping in town and great food. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Boothbay was my favorite stop on my trip to Maine. Loved the Botanical Garden! I took a cruise to see the various lighthouses and the scenery was picture-perfect—just like in the magazines! Shopping downtown was super, and the lobster roll at Boothbay Lobster Wharf was outstanding! What a wonderful little town!!

Been going to Boothbay Harbor for years. Will always go back. Grammie from CT. The newer rooftop deck is an ideal to have a pre-dinner cocktail.

The boat trips are great. Been on all of them. Puffin Island was interesting. My wife and I drove up from florida to see the the gorgeous Maine coast and the many lighthouses and booth harbor was where I had my first lobster roll on the trip, fantastic stop.

The best in the world. Spent a magical week at Boothbay Harbor, Topside Inn many years ago. Will try to return again soon, I hope. We had a delightful time.

As a young child my dad chose to take the family on vacation here to Boothbay Harbor rather than Disney. The fresh air, the tall pines, the boat rides, the clambakes in August each year was a highlight of the summer. So many wonderful memories and so much to do.

If you are in Portland and can take that hour drive up the coast to Boothbay Harbor you will indeed give yourself an enormous gift of beauty, fun shops and numerous boat ride adventures. We would get boat rides right on the dock. Let the car take you there!

As a young teenager, I traveled to Boothbay with my parents in June. It was beautiful. So many yrs ago we stayed at a hotel that was once a boarding house. It sat up on top of town n overlooked the bay. Thank you for writing on Boothbay! I suspect it could have been the Mount Pisgah Lodge, on the Eastside of the footbridge, up the hill across from the water tower.

It, like much of this former art colony, has become a seasonal summer home. In , Henry Curtis purchased the land from the sachem Mowhotiwormet, commonly known as Chief Robinhood, who lived at what is today Woolwich. But the settlement was attacked and burned during King Philip's War, resettled shortly afterwards, then destroyed again in during King William's War.

It was abandoned for 40 years. In , Colonel David Dunbar, the superintendent and governor of the Territory of Sagadahock, laid out a new town, named Townsend after Viscount Townshend. Despite predations during the French and Indian Wars, and robberies during the Revolutionary War by marauding British sailors, the settlement was successful, not least because of its large, deep and protected harbor.
