Boothbay Harbor, Coastal town in Lincoln County, Maine
Located along the Atlantic coast, Boothbay Harbor features a natural deep water port surrounded by residential areas and commercial buildings facing the ocean.
The region remained unpopulated until 1729 when settlers established Townsend, which later split into three separate communities including Boothbay Harbor in 1889.
Local fishermen deliver fresh catches directly to waterfront restaurants, maintaining a centuries-old tradition that connects the maritime industry with dining experiences.
Visitors can reach Boothbay Harbor by driving 166 miles north of Boston or taking a one-hour journey north from Portland, Maine.
The town operates a free shuttle service during winter months, connecting visitors to Gardens Aglow, an extensive light display at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
