Cape Porpoise welcomes residents and newcomers with its tranquil harbor views and a genuine sense of coastal community. This picturesque village, part of the Kennebunkport area, stands out for its delightful blend of working lobster docks and scenic vistas, where fishing boats and lobster shacks dot the waterfront. The highlight for many locals is the iconic Goat Island Lighthouse, standing as a beacon since 1833, visible from the harbor and best admired from the Cape Porpoise Pier.
Food lovers will enjoy fresh seafood on the water at celebrated eateries like The Ramp Bar & Grill, which delivers quintessential Maine flavors with unbeatable sunset views. Outdoor enthusiasts can kayak to nearby islands or stroll along tidal inlets, while the preserved Vaughan’s Island Preserve offers a rewarding nature walk. Families appreciate Cape Porpoise’s sense of security and community spirit, complemented by access to the well-regarded RSU 21 school district serving Kennebunkport and neighboring towns.
