Alex’s Kennebunkport guidebook
Neighborhoods
Our rental cottage is in the Kennebunkport Village of Cape Porpoise. It is a scenic neighborhood close to a classic Maine family grocery, funky shops and great places to dine eat or pick up takeout. We are definitely down for the bars and shops of Dock Square and Kennebunk, but don't miss all that Cape Porpoise has to offer.

A guilty pleasure. Massive, tasty cheesesteaks hot off the griddle that melt in your mouth. On a busy summer day, Bennett's serves ~1,000+ sandwiches, so download their mobile app for online ordering to skip the lines.

Golf
Bring your sticks and play 18 at two local clubs that allows guests, Cape Arundel GC and, my favorite, Webhannet GC. For the latter, you can book your tee times online. WGC has a small practice area, but for a true warm up, take your driver over to Hillcrest Driving Range and hit a bucket (or two).
