If you’re up for a drive head to Damariscotta. Great shops, restaurants, and views. There are a lot of oyster beds in that area and this town offers an Oyster & Wine Pairing Boat Cruise.

Food scene
Visit Kennepunkport center. It’s beautiful. Make sure to take a ride around the Bush Residence. It’s really a gorgeous spot.
In that same area (but not within walking distance) is a great fish market called Langsford Road Lobster & Fish. They also have the best clam chowder around.
Up the street from Langsford is my favorite gift shop called Farm + Table.

Sit on the back deck at Luke’s Lobster or the Porthole and enjoy a lobster roll while taking in the sun and water. By the way, the Porthole has the best avocado fries and calamari salad.

There are tons of lobster rolls around but one of the best is in a general store just outside Boothbay Harbor - Trevett Country Store in Trevett Maine.

If you like consignment shops try Cherished Possessions. It's hit or miss but I've found some treasures there.

Brewery
If you have a pup with you and can take some time out to travel to this brewery, we recommend Funky Bow Brewing Company. They’re located in Lyman ME which is about 35 minutes from the house. Great beer, pizza, and live music. The best part is that they have a pretty strict No Leash Law – All Pups Run Free. Mostly our dogs hang around the pizza ovens.

The Saturday and Wednesday Farmer's Market is a must
Every Saturday starting at 7:00am in Deering Park at 92 Deering Ave. Local farmers throughout Maine. We love it. We also advise getting there early. It gets very busy and tough to find parking.
Every Wednesday starting at 9:00am at 456 Congress Street. This is in Old Port. Again, local farmers throughout Maine.
