Shingle-style cottages and seafood markets line the streets, while a shipyard and harbors harken back to the town’s rich history as a fishing community—in fact, it’s the oldest European-settled town in Maine, and was incorporated in 1647. Just offshore, you’ll find Badger Island and the Isle of Shoals, and the Whaleback Lighthouse stands on a rocky outcrop amid the waves, in the mouth of the Piscataqua River. Just south of our Kittery home rentals, you’ll also find the Harbor Lighthouse in neighboring Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
If the lighthouses aren’t enough for the history buffs in your travel party, Fort McClary in Kittery is worth a visit. This 19th-century fort still stands today as a state historic site and museum, where you can learn about Maine’s maritime history and enjoy the beautiful park overlooking the ocean. Or, you can explore Fort Foster Park, where beaches, biking trails, and views of both lighthouses await.
Kittery offers a laid-back feel and is perfect for those seeking a little peace and quiet. There’s still plenty to do and see, like shopping in over 120 outlet stores or tasting the delicious, fresh-caught seafood at one of the many dining establishments. If you're looking for a place to stop in for a pint of craft beer, the town has a number of breweries where you can sip the local offerings. And nearby Portsmouth is worth the trip, to see its charming harbor streets peppered with dining and entertainment.
Slow things down for a weekend—or longer—in one of our Kittery vacation rentals, and experience the beauty of coastal Maine.
