With over 120 outlet stores, Kittery is a great place to stock up on back-to-school gear, new kitchen items, gifts for loved ones and more. The Kittery Outlets line a long stretch of Route 1, the main drag through town.
Kittery Trading Post is the best-known outdoor superstore in southern Maine. In addition to men's, women's and kids' apparel, Kittery Trading Post has huge selections in their hunting, fishing, camping, boating and winter sports departments.-It's a great place to pick up souvenirs for friends, too. Maple-sugar candy, lobster shaped barley pops, post cards and T shirts are all available in this rustic, lodge-themed landmark.
Shopping all morning can leave you famished. For a taste of authentic New England, a local favorite is The Weathervane Seafood Restaurant. Broiled, boiled, baked and fried seafood are available from 11a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The best part? It's fresh from the fishing boats off the Maine coast.
Enjoy the rocky Maine coastline in the afternoon. Two small beaches, Crescent Beach and Seapoint Beach, offer a decent mix of sand and rocky bluffs. For breathtaking walks, visit Fort Foster Park and hike its trails. Fort Foster features a long pier and a rocky beach.
