The jaw-dropping coastline, unique shops, incredible restaurants and the most charming downtown area make “The Kennebunks” one of my all-time favorite places to visit. This summer, Seacoast Lately created an “It Guide” for “The Kennebunks” that highlights our favorite places to Eat, Shop, See, Stay and Do! “The Kennebunks” are a short drive from Portsmouth but the natural beauty and quaint, historic, setting makes it feel like it’s worlds away…
