The Kennebunks · Lifestyle
Living in The Kennebunks, Maine.
Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Arundel — the postcard coast.
Life in the Kennebunks shifts between Kennebunk's walkable village, Kennebunkport's harbor and Dock Square, and Arundel's rural antiques-and-farms calm — all sharing RSU 21 schools, a packed events calendar (Christmas Prelude, the Lobster Roll Festival), and the same coastline.
"The Kennebunks" is the local shorthand for Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Arundel — three towns that share a coast, a school district, and a brand. Together they cover sea-captain villages, three of Maine's best public beaches, a working lobster harbor at Cape Porpoise, and quiet farmland inland along Route 1.
Three towns, one community in The Kennebunks
Kennebunk is the village and the inland farms; Kennebunkport is the harbor and Dock Square; Arundel is the quieter, more rural neighbor along Route 1 with antiques shops, farms, and Vinegar Hill Music Theatre.
