About the area:
Southport Island is the neighboring community to Boothbay Harbor, one of Maine’s most popular destinations. Known for being a peaceful and quaint community, the pace of life on Southport is leisurely and the island life will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The cottage is conveniently located an easy walk or bike ride to Southport’s most popular places including Cozy’s Harbor, which has a restaurant, the Southport yacht club and public kayak launch. A little further down the road you will find the General Store where you can pick up a sandwich, home made treats and a bottle of wine or visit the Barn, a gift shop featuring handcrafted jewelry, pottery, soaps, artwork and other souvenirs. Hendricks’s Head Beach is an easy stroll from the cottage and the perfect place for a swim, collecting seashells, building sandcastles and taking in the beautiful coastline, including Hendricks’s Head Lighthouse. The beach is also dog friendly. And your time in Southport would not be complete without a trip to Robinson's Wharf restaurant, a 5 minute drive from the cottage, where what you eat for dinner was caught that day by a local fisherman.

If you’re looking for a more bustling coastal town, take a drive over the swing bridge that connects Southport to the mainland and visit the quintessential village of Boothbay Harbor. With its many shops and restaurants there’s plenty to explore and while you're there, don’t miss taking one of the whale watches or lighthouse cruises that depart daily from the harbor.
