From US Route 1, north or south, take Route 27
through Boothbay Harbor, following signs to Southport. After passing
St. Andrews Hospital and BBH Yacht Club, cross the causeway and
turn left on McKown Point Road. HARBORFIELDS is 100 yards ahead,
on left.
The single most frequent complaint heard from visitors to the Boothbay
region is that they simply dont have enough time in a one-week
(or two-week) vacation to do all the things theyd like to
do while theyre here! On the water, for example, the opportunities
for fun and recreation are almost limitless. You might cruise around
the harbor and to the outlying islands on an historic schooner.
There are also dinner and party cruises aboard modern charter boats
you might enjoy. Rentals of sailboats, runabouts, and sea kayaks
are possible too, allowing you to explore the region at your own
pace, and if you like to fish, how about taking a chartered fishing
expedition? Throughout the summer there are special events, such
as the annual Fishermans Festival and Windjammer Days. In
addition to these on-the-water delights, theres always swimming
in the cold, clear Atlantic at one of the three state park beaches
nearby, or from the Harborfields dock.
There are numerous nature preserves in the area that
feature well-marked hiking trails through the cool, dark spruce
forest and along the rocky shore. For those who prefer hitting those
little white balls as they stroll, there are two country clubs in
the area, open to non- members.
Other sports activities can be enjoyed through the Boothbay Region
YMCA or the Juniper Point Association (for Harborfields guests
only).
For
those rare days when the sun refuses to shine, Boothbay Harbor boasts
a multitude of fine retail shops, seafood markets, antique stores
and art galleries. There is also a twin-screen cinema and a renowned
dinner theatre for those times when you just want to sit down and
be entertained.
And what would a visit to the Maine coast be without
sampling the fare at some of the best seafood restaurants in the
entire state? From lobster rolls to Lobster Newburgh, the range
of delights to be had in the area spans the budgetary, and culinary,
spectrum. All these attractions, and more, combine to make us confident
when we say that, whether or not Maine is The Way Life Should
Be, Harborfields is certainly The Way Life Can Be!

The Boothbay region can be extraordinarily beautiful during the
periods when HARBORFIELDS rates are reduced. Join us in May
and June to watch the lilacs and wildflowers bloom, or in mid-September
and October when the air is crystal clear, the water sparkles like
diamonds, the leaves make Technicolor pale by comparison and the
crowds have gone home. All cottages have wood and electric heat
for your off-season comfort.
