Well, there are a lot of stores and the tourists like them....But I personally recommend you visit the Locally Handmade Shop across from McDonald's. I consign my jewelry there, under She Sells By The Seacoast.

Just seeing the gardens out front will impress you. Lots of tasting inside, a cooking school, simple restaurant with A+ food, gifts, etc. (And the owners live across the street from me, in the big white house just a few doors down.)

This is the restaurant group down the street, at the KP town wharf. The Bistro is their primary dining spot but has no view of the water. Great in winter, but in summer I recommend casual dining down at The Wharf, waterside, or go all the way upstairs to the Ski Club Bar (waterskiing) for spectacular views and deck dining in nice weather.

Small but upscale and casual local place. Be prepared to wait for a table. Worth it. Hard to find because the locals just KNOW where it is.

In my opinion the best all-round place, but it will cost you $20 to park unless you go early with the dog walkers. YOu will get sandy beaches at low tide, smooth rocky beaches at high tide, grassy spots to sit, a playground, pavilion, picnic tables, walking trails, gorgeous sunsets, grills, up-close lighthouse views, old forts and history, etc.

This is the walk that all the tourists take, from Perkins Cove to Ogunquit beach, along the coast. I prefer Fisherman's Walk, down the street in York Harbor, as it is more low-key, but you should do Marginal Way at least once.
