The Nonantum Resort in the picturesque seaside town of Kennebunkport, Maine offers a variety of accommodations and amenities all designed to ensure your total comfort and enjoyment.  It is a short walk to the center of Kennebunkport's Dock Square, with its unique shops, boutiques, art galleries, sea captains' homes and historic landmarks. Or stroll the Parson's Way Coastal Walk, a scenic walking path along the spectacular rocky coast of Maine. Along the way, you can explore a nearby beach, stroll past St Ann's Church and Walkers Point - the summer home of the Bush family, and if the tide is right - see the awesome Spouting Rock and Blowing Cave.

Take a swim in our riverfront outdoor heated pool (open late May to mid Sept), unwind in our lounge. Scenic Lobster boat, sail boat and sport fishing excursions and tours set forth daily from our marina during the season. Or, rent a kayak and paddle the beautiful Kennebunk River. We have a gift shop with all the latest logo wear. Plus summer long resort activities by the river.

The trolley stops right out our front door waiting to whisk you from shop to gallery to beach. Or just relax along the banks of the Kennebunk River and watch the lobster boats and schooners pass by.

Goat Island Lighthouse Tour:  There is no better way to see the Maine coast than from the balcony of a lighthouse. Explore Goat Island Lighthouse in Cape Porpoise, Maine with the Light Keeper himself, Scott Dombrowski. Scott will take you on a short boat trip from the Cape Porpoise Pier to the Lighthouse island, where he will give a personalized tour and detailed history of the island and the lighthouse. Come enjoy these unbelievable views of the Maine coast and a once in a lifetime experience!

Pier 77 Restaurant has stunning views of Cape Porpoise Harbor and the working lobster boats that are moored there. During lunch you can watch the lobstermen motor in and row to the dock in their dinghies while the sunsets in the evenings paint the entire harbor bright hues of magenta, pink and purple. Music is integral to having a good time and Pier 77 has live music 7 days a week during peak season and music on the weekends in the off-season.

The Clam Shack has been greeting visitors to Kennebunkport  Maine,  for many years.  Voted by Epicurious.com as one of the top ten seafood shacks in America, the Clam Shack serves up fried clams that persuade food loving travelers to detour many, many miles for the taste of these fried  morsels. One other thing, the lobster rolls at the clam shack also are said to be the best. Try one, you will definitely not be disappointed.
