On a beautiful summer day, I like to head for the coast.

And my coast of choice is usually Boothbay Harbor.

Traditionally it was a fishing village….

Now it’s tourist heaven.

But it’s still beautiful and I still love it.

The footbridge had a facelift, so we strolled across.

Boothbay is one of those places you just need to stand still…

It’s quintessentially Maine.

Wind blown hair is gorgeous!!
I wanted to go whale watching this weekend but it was the first hot day at the beach, all schools are out, and father’s day weekend = parking nightmare, so I changed my mind.

Yes, we tend to avoid the touristy areas on holidays and in high season.

I figure for a place to become a tourist destination, it must be pretty special. Just elbow the outsiders out of the way and enjoy!
