A few of our personal favorites include the beautiful Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, the charming seaside town of Ogunquit, or playing golf at the Cape Neddic Country Club or Ledges Golf Club. Feel free to reach out to us for more recommendations!
✹ Please note that the waters surrounding the private pebble beach are too rough for swimming. However, the beach is covered in smooth bluestone pebbles, weathered from the crashing waves.
