Home of one of the most photographed lighthouses in the nation. This park is a must see! The views are breathtaking. Families with young children can enjoy the playground and the Children's Garden - a natural rock and garden with native maine plants, trickling waterfalls, monarch butterflies and with a super fun granite rock super slide - you could spend the whole day in this park! My husband and I were married at this park, so it holds a special place in our hearts.
Added bonus, there are food trucks parked her regularly offering local treats like Maine Lobster Rolls and Gelato.

This Hannaford is a little further from the studio than the one in Westbrook, but it's much bigger and offers a superior produce selection. It is also located across the street from Baxter Blvd. - a nice 3.5-mile jog, walk, or bike.

Beautiful place! Wine tasting of by the glass. Pairings on Wed. and brunch options on Sundays sometimes. Good wine - try the Perfect Stranger if you like a glass of white - it's the best - they call it the porch pounder.
They close early so this is the great place to go in the mid-afternoon/evening.
