Camden, Ogunquit or Kennebunkport?
 

My husband and I are coming from the Buffalo, NY area to Maine in August. We're plannig on spending 2 days in Bar Harbor. We'd like to go somewhere else for 2 more days. Camden, Ogunquit, and Kennenbunkport have caught my eye. Any input on the 3 locations would be appreciated. Also, any B & B recommendations for those areas? Our price range is about $125 a night. Thank you.

Heather,<BR>My husband and I went a few years ago in Sept. We took a week and traveled the coast from NH to Maine. During our trip we spent 2 days in Ogunquit and 1 day in Kennebunkport. Stayed in York Harbor, ME (York harbor inn - yorkharborinn.com) and Trellis house (trellishouse.com) in Ogunquit. Kennebunkport was more touristry but quaint. Enjoyed Qgunquit slightly more (Marginal Way). Great antique shops between York Harbor and Ogunquit. Have fun.

Funny, when I read the first post I decided to recommend York Harbor--and the second poster beat me to it! I can't remember the name of the B&B we stayed in (it was 3 years ago), but it's a really lovely, old fashioned looking town--not at all pretentious and very relaxing.<BR><BR>We liked Kennebunkport for walking the town at night--lovely, but very expensive (though we did have a great dinner on the harbor).

As a "contrast" to BH, I'd recommend further south than Camden. Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, and York are all fairly close, with Ogunquit being the most central. I've not stayed at a B&B there, but the Spar Hawk Hotel is a reasonable, centrally located, lovely place to stay.<BR>
