Perfect Weather, Stunning Scenery, and Tasty Seafood

The average July temperature in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, is a pleasant 76 degrees. At night, temperatures drop into the 50s. That means visitors can jump into the ocean by day and cozy up at a campfire by night!
Boothbay Harbor is one of the best places to visit in Maine for lobster and fresh seafood. Nothing says “quintessential New England summer” more than a tasty lobster roll from one of the best lobster shacks in Maine!
