Jennifer’s Harpswell Guidebook
Beach
An 8 minute walk from the house and a 2 minute walk from the camper. Swimming, kayaking and boat launch.
Walk to the islands at low tide. Pay attention to the incoming tide…or risk being entertainment for the fishermen who will razz you as you swim or wade back.
Lookout Point
Magical place to spend the day. Go when the tide is highest, and as it starts to go out, let the kids float down the tidal river from the lagoon to the bay. They will remember it forever.
Don't be scared by the drive onto the beach. it is rough, but if you go slow, you'll make it.

Not in Harpswell, but nearby Brunswick. Not scenic at all, but really good ice cream. Beware, the servings are generous, get a smaller size than you think you want.

Best seafood eats in Harpswell. Great views friendly professional service. Best Fried clams in town. OMG Seafood Nachos. LOBSTER DIP. They used to be across the Cribstone Bridge on Bailey Island.

Sadly CLOSED. Thank you Ray, and the entire Tetreault Family, for feeding our family, friends and guests so well for so long. You are missed.
Our lifeline. Ray makes his own sausage, will make up any kind of cut of meat you need, fresh fruit & veg, good homemade baked goods. Best place to get fresh scallops for cooking at home. His homemade Chowders and soups are great. Yummy cookies and great sandwiches too.
