Boothbay Harbor is a classic Maine harbor town on a peninsula in the Midcoast region, filled with sailboats, lobster boats and wharves lined with restaurants and shops. The area has deep boatbuilding and maritime traditions and is home to the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens have made it a year-round destination. Tourism, second homes, marine businesses and science drive the local economy.

Boothbay Harbor is about three hours from Boston and more from New York, with the last stretch along Route 1 and the peninsula’s two-lane roads, which can be slow in summer. Wiscasset Airport is about 9 miles north, and flying private there makes reaching a summer home or a weekend getaway simple. Visitors tour the gardens, take boat trips to see puffins and seals, sail among the islands, explore nearby Pemaquid Point and eat lobster rolls on the waterfront.
