Since Boothbay Harbor is a resort village with a short season, lodging will only be inexpensive when compared to the
Spruce Point Inn. We have stayed at
The Rocktide and its location on the harbor next to the
Lobster Dock makes it a very convenient for a harbor centered two night stay. Don’t spend extra for a room with harbor view because it is very deep in the harbor. I believe pricing to be fairly moderate by BBH standards
If the lodging is expected to be part of the vacation experience and not just a roof, I have always been intrigued by the
Ocean Point Inn, but have never stayed there. Not actually in Boothbay Harbor but only a short drive to East Boothbay. Have had some satisfying meals in their restaurant over the years.
For lodging that is convenient to BBH but not near the water,
The Flagship Inn has been there forever and looks like an attractive property as a drive by, but I have never stayed there.
Eat at iconic restaurants if you are in BBH for the lobster. They have figured out how to survive giving good value year after year. Last years new restaurant may not be there next year. The Lobster Dock is as good a place as any for lobster and other seafood delights and
Robinson’s Wharf is worth the drive to Southport for a little less hectic dock experience.
No matter where you stay or what you eat when on the Boothbay Peninsula, one thing that is absolutely not to be missed is the
Coastal Maine Botanical Garden.Also on the Coastal Drive East from Portland
