The Southern Maine Coast is blessed with miles of sandy beaches, with rocks, ledges and cliffs dotted with the occasional lighthouse. The lure of Kittery lies not only in the sun and sand but also the excellent dining and seafood shacks, fine antique shops and factory outlets.

Not far from Kittery is the Old York Village Historic District where you can engross yourself in Colonial History. A day at Willowbrook will give you a feel of 19th century village life. The region has several forts and museums that are worth a visit. If you need a break from shopping at all the antique stores and have had enough of history, it's time for some family fun at York's Wild Kingdom or one of Saco's water parks.

Also delightful and bountiful are the region's environment sanctuaries. The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is spread out over 10 coastal sites. The East Point Sanctuary, a Maine Audubon preserve in Biddeford has a number of avid bird watchers flocking to it every year.

There are a wide range of accommodation options such as hotels, motels, inns etc but the most popular in this region seem to be the Bed and Breakfasts(B&Bs). B&Bs were conventionally private homes which took in guests, with breakfast included in the cost of the lodging. B&Bs can vary from unpretentious homes with a spare room to ornate historic houses that have been restored. In Travel the term B&B is increasingly used to illustrate any lodging arrangement that includes breakfast, even in a hotel.

Kittery Maine has many B&Bs to suit every taste and economic range and with the number of options abounding it is indeed a task to choose one.

The Southern Maine Coast has several attractions and for "shopaholics" and bargain hunters, Kittery is a dream come true with more than 125 factory outlet stores.
