Planning a Trip

Getting There

Wiscasset is right on U.S. Route 1, between Bath and Damariscotta. Boothbay Harbor is off Route 1, southeast down a peninsula on Route 27; coming from the south, turn right shortly after crossing the bridge in Wiscasset.

Visitor Information

As befits a place where tourism is a major industry, the Boothbay region has three visitor information centers in and around town. On U.S. Route 1, at the Route 27 turnoff, there's an info center open seasonally, a good place to stock up on initial brochures. A mile before you reach the villages is the also-seasonal Boothbay Information Center (open June-Oct). If you zoom past that one or it's closed, don't fret: The year-round Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 356, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 (tel. 800/266-8422 or 207/633-2353; www.boothbayharbor.com), is at the intersection of routes 27 and 96.
