Boothbay Harbor is a wonderful working harbor with beautiful shops, restaurants, and places to stay. I recommend the Lobster Dock where you can eat outside and just enjoy those lobsters. Also, must go to Wiscasset to Red's Eats...which is at the bridge right on Rt. 1.

There are also many wonderful places to stay right on the Harbor - both sides.
Also, a few quilt shops within comfortable driving distance...one of them is new and right behind Red's Eats. Personal message me if you want more info or pics.
