The largest boating harbor north of Boston, Boothbay Harbor is a sailing haven for visitors and residents in the summer months. Boothbay Harbor vacation homes and vacation condos are located in the Mid Coast region of Maine. Beaches, marinas, sightseeing, water tours, and dining are the highlights of a trip to Boothbay Harbor. The town has the same industry it had when it was founded: fishing and shipbuilding. A vacation in Boothbay Harbor will be a tranquil one, as the main attractions are not busy, crowded tourist traps, but leisurely strolls through town, whale watching and puffin tours, and attending arts and music fairs held throughout the summer months. Hiking, scenic drives, historical sightseeing, and the Rachel Carson Greenway are all possible through the 922 acres of preserved land that surrounds the town. Boothbay Harbor vacation cottages line the shores of one of the most beautiful areas of the Northeast, still unencumbered by commercialization and tourism.
