Kennebunkport Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, known collectively as the Kennebunks and located on the southern coast of Maine, have been attracting summer visitors for centuries. In the 1700s, the Abenaki Indians came to these shores for summer fishing and hunting. Before the Revolutionary War, shipbuilding was already an area industry and this maritime legacy is evident by the impressive homes wealthy sea captains built that still grace Kennebunkport's streets.
