Lobster Lovers Getaway

Lobster Lovers Getaway

Sunday, July 18 - Tuesday, July 20, 2027

The coastal town of Boothbay Harbor, Maine is a perfect destination for a quick summer getaway! Our hotel, the Boothbay Harbor Inn, is located directly on the waterfront, and offers picturesque views of the harbor combined with a convenient location next to the famous wooden footbridge. Just a short walk will take you downtown to the harbor’s many shops, galleries and restaurants.

DAY 1 – We will stop at Ogunquit’s beautiful Perkins Cove for a first-hand lobstering experience, aboard the Finestkind Lobstering Cruise. You will see traps hauled and lobsters caught by an authentic Maine lobsterman. Your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the lobster fishery and the many scenic points of interest along the way. Enjoy time for lunch & shopping in Perkins Cove and have the chance to take a stroll on the scenic Marginal Way footpath along the rocky Maine coast. We’ll travel to Boothbay Harbor and check into our waterfront hotel, the Boothbay Harbor Inn.

DAY 2 – After a relaxing morning our Downeast Clambake Adventure begins with a scenic cruise of Boothbay Harbor to Cabbage Island. The Downeast Clambake on Cabbage Island is cooked in seaweed, steamed from top to bottom, & covered with rocks to capture all the flavor and sweetness of fresh Maine lobsters and clams. Your meal includes traditional New England Fish Chowder, TWO luscious lobsters, steamed clams wrapped, corn on the cob, onion, and new Maine potatoes. You have the remainder of the day to explore the shops downtown or relax by the water. (B, Clambake).

DAY 3 - We’ll take a self-guided tour of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, where you’ll find stunning ornamental gardens, waterfalls, and incomparable stonework and sculpture. You won’t want to miss the garden’s new exhibit, Guardians of the Seeds by Thomas Dambo. Hidden throughout the garden’s native, natural wooded areas, these giant trolls wait to be unearthed. Then, we’ll stop at Freeport and have time for lunch & shopping at L.L. Bean’s Flagship store and the many surrounding outlets. (B)
