My wife Monika posted about our kayak trip at Linekin Bay in East Boothbay, Maine during the 4th of July holiday. While we were there we took a long walk along the rocks at Grimes Beach at Ocean Point.
Boothbay Harbor is one of our favorite weekend getaway
spots in Maine and the Ocean Point area is a must visit for us.
The walk along Shore Road at Ocean Point has some of the most spectacular views along the Maine Coast.
The views just make you want to find a hammock and a nice bottle of your favorite beverage and just kick back and relax.
It's so peaceful you can hear the bird's chirp and the crickets and frogs make sounds that you may never had heard before.
We often ask ourselves if we had to give up our current lifestyle of traveling in our motor home to live in one of the houses across the street from the ocean at Ocean Point, would we do it? To never RV again in exchange for a home at Ocean Point? Those that know us know that we love RVing!!!
The answer is a resounding Yes, it is that beautiful up here.
Words can't describe the place or the feeling we get as we walk along Shore Road or climb the rocks jutting out to the sea at Ocean Point.
Hopefully some of our photos capture a little bit of how we feel when we are visiting "the Soul" of the Boothbay Harbor Region. Sadly many tourist never leave Boothbay Harbor and explore East Boothbay or the Ocean Point area. They have no idea what they are missing!
Most of the Ocean Point residents that we have talked to, say that they inherited their homes from family members generations ago. No wonder you don't see a lot of turnover at Ocean Point.
People love the area and keep the homes in their family and simply hand them down generation after generation.
We first fell in love with the area many years ago in our pre-motor home days when we used to stay at the Ocean Point Inn every memorial Day weekend. They had some fabulous pre-season specials that we took advantage of for a few years until we bough the RV.
From the wonderful old stone church to lovely summer cottages and homes that line Shore Road and of course those awesome Ocean Point sunsets. We love it all!
The movie Message in a Bottle was partly filmed at Ocean Point. The actor who starred in the film Kevin Costner once described Maine as "Painfully beautiful".
