The sun sets over the harbor and village.
There is something special about clean, fresh air from the sea.
There is something special about mother-of-pearl sunsets.
There is something special about sailing an east wind.
There is something special about sharing a walk through marsh, wood and shore.

Sunset over the harbor and village.

There is something very special about Boothbay Harbor:

Sea kayaking Hiking Golfing Bike trails Deep sea fishing Cruising the coast Sailing the coast Art galleries Lighthouses! Maine Lighthouses

Antique shops Restaurants Theater Artisans and crafts Spas Yoga Island hopping Lobsters

Sometimes it's just nice to sit back, relax and enjoy
the friends and conversation--and sunsets--right here at Fiddler's Green!

Free wagon rides through town, Open House at the Historical Society, tree lighting and caroling on the library lawn, Santa Claus, the Three Wise Men procession across the footbridge —-all culminating in the Lighted Boat Parade through the harbor. A lovely old-fashioned Maine coast celebration.
• Dress warm and hike or snow shoe at Dodge Point Preserve, then come back to a roaring fire and a cup of hot buttered rum or spiced cider here at the inn.
• Art gallery hopping.
• A visit to the Farnsworth Museum and the Island Institute in Rockland.
• A work out or game of tennis at our fantastic YMCA.

Boothbay Harbor, a town for ALL seasons!
