Boothbay Harbor

Nestled in between one of Midcoast Maine’s many peninsulas and surrounded by the Sheepscot and Damariscotta Rivers open to the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean, Boothbay Harbor has long been a popular yachting and tourist destination and a desirable place to own a home for even longer. It is no secret why the year-round population of approximately 5,000 people surges to 50,000 during the summer months. Yet business owners, year round-residents, and returning visitors tend to know each other on a first name basis in this tight knit community.

Exercise for the whole family is offered at the state of the art YMCA facility with programs for all ages with its 6 lane short course swimming pool, racquetball courts, indoor tennis courts, a gymnasium, and exercise equipment. Boothbay Harbor allows all generations of people in the community to find recreation and pleasure through resources such as a nursing home, an ambulance service, and a warm water therapeutic pool for children and rehabilitation services. Any emergencies at sea are taken care of by Boothbay Harbor’s own Coast Guard station.
