Salt air, waves crashing on rocky shorelines, and fresh lobster, what more could you ask for in a relaxing coastal Maine Vacation?
On this relaxing coastal Maine Vacation, we visited the beautiful Boothbay Harbor.
Boothbay Harbor is a small coastal Maine town that is located about 160 miles north of Boston and just over an hour away from Portland, Maine. The short distance from Portland International Airport provides convenience and opportunities to sightsee additional coastal Maine towns along the way.
Where to Stay?
Located on the coast of Boothbay Harbor, Spruce Point Inn is the ultimate destination for anyone who loves to relax while having various activities available at any time of the day.
What we loved most about staying at Spruce Point Inn was waking up in our rustic coastal cottage, walking to the main lodge where we found fresh coffee and breakfast and sitting on their unique Adirondack chairs while we planned our day ahead.
You will not regret staying at Spruce Point Inn. From the second we checked out of the Resort, we knew that one day we would be back. Our vacation to Boothbay Harbor left us with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
What kind of activities are available?
When vacationing in Boothbay Harbor, you will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities.
During our relaxing coastal Maine vacation, we were able to enjoy the following activities from within Spruce Point Inn’s property:
- Kayaking
- Sailing
- Paddleboarding
- Hiking
- Roasting Marshmallows
- Witnesses breathtaking sunsets
For a full list of activities that are available at Spruce Point Inn, check out their website for up-to-date information.
If you are wanting to check out activities outside of Spruce Point Inn, we highly recommend visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. We love visiting botanical gardens across the United States to observe and learn about the native plants that thrive in local areas.
What are the nearby food options?
After days full of adventure and relaxation, you will be eager to enjoy some of the wonderful cuisines that can be found at Spruce Pointe Inn or outside the resort at the Harbor.
Having access to locally sourced food was a major perk to staying at Spruce Point Inn. The meals that we experienced at the Salty Stag were absolutely delicious. Each morning, we especially enjoyed eating the homemade granola and blueberry muffins.
A short drive outside of the Resort will lead you to the Boothbay Lobster Wharf. Here is where you will experience lobster that is literally right out of the ocean.
Since this restaurant is located at a fully working Wharf, you will still be able to taste the freshness and saltwater when enjoying the food. This is a must-visit destination for any meal of the day.
