We were lucky enough to watch the beautiful sunset here. One of the prettiest spots I have ever been. Exactly what you picture in your mind when you think of the Maine coast.

Sometimes there is too much traffic. We like to drive Ocean Ave in the fall. Or we park and walk. Beautiful place to see Kennebunk Beach from as well as the Colony Hotel.
