Hotels in Boothbay Harbor
Nothing in the way of budget chains and a lot in the way of seaside resorts and mom-and-pop inns—that’s the lodging scene in the Boothbay region. Make July and August reservations the winter before to count on first-choice lodging in this heavily touristed corner of the state.
