Absolutely LOVE the inclusion of The Willard Gallery - one of my favorite galleries to follow and I cannot wait to visit!! I was also just in Kennebunkport and REALLY enjoyed Bliss's new home store. Probably one of the best curated shops I've seen this year!

Great list! I've been going to Maine every summer for 1-2 weeks my entire life, staying in Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport (about 40 minutes south of Portland). GRB is a gorgeous beach and gentle enough for kids, and there's a community association you can join as a visitor that gives tennis lessons, swimming lessons in the ocean, kids activities, etc. In GRB, Goose Rocks Dairy has amazing ice cream. In the Port (downtown Kennebunkport and Lower Village Kennebunk), Compliments Gallery has great jewelry and interesting art. There's also a BLISS and Sea Bags there. For food, the lobster rolls and fried seafood at The Clam Shack are fantastic, and while I've never stayed at the hotel of the White Barn Inn, the restaurant is wonderful (and was able to accommodate vegans wonderfully). Maine Diner in Wells is also delicious.

Heading up to Maine later this week for the 5th year in a row, so this post is perfect timing! Pretty sure I could spend a fortune at Blanche and Mimi’s… it’s perfection. Also seriously considering checking out Crown Jewel this trip!
