Watch boats sail past as you unwind on Maine's coast

When planning a trip to the Maine coast, you can't go wrong with the Boothbay Harbor Inn. We're directly on the waterfront in beautiful Boothbay Harbor. Our restaurant and most rooms offer picturesque harbor views. You'll be able to watch boats sail by while you dine. Most rooms have a balcony or patio that overlooks the water. You can stroll about the waterfront and explore the harbor's shops and galleries. Just a short walk takes you across Boothbay Harbor's famous wooden footbridge. Each of our spacious rooms is equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, cable TV, a refrigerator and a microwave. Complimentary buffet breakfast is included. Relax on the lawn beside our waterfront fire pit, or chill out in our sitting room, where you can read a book, play cards or use our lobby computer.
