Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Today’s big activity was whale watching in Boothbay Harbor. We got into town a little early and had the opportunity to walk around before heading to the boat. The streets were lined with touristy shops and waterside restaurants. We enjoyed lunch overlooking the ocean at McSeagull’s. Food was ok but the views more than made up for it!

After lunch, we headed down to the boat to begin our whale-watching adventure. The ride out of the harbor was gorgeous. The coast was littered with the cutest beach bungalows. We also passed two picture perfect lighthouses.

It didn’t take long for the captain to find the first whale. We followed this poor guy around for about an hour waiting for him to surface for air.

By the end of the trip, we had seen two different species of whales, sea turtles, dolphins and sea lions! Well worth the investment.

We were both in love with this town, so we decided to stay a little longer and explore the shops. I definitely could see myself living here!Read more
