New Harbor is a salt-air village where lobster boats set the daily rhythm and rocky headlands frame wide-open views of the Atlantic. Part of the town of Bristol in Lincoln County, it blends year-round community with easygoing coastal living. Residents enjoy quiet lanes, pocket beaches, and the essentials nearby, with artisan shops, markets, and healthcare a short drive away in Damariscotta.
Its signature landmarks are close at hand: Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Park, an icon immortalized on the Maine quarter; the shoreline fortifications and museum at Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site; and family-friendly sand and gentle surf at Pemaquid Beach Park. At low tide, the Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve becomes a living classroom of tidepools. From the working pier, Hardy Boat Cruises runs seasonal trips to Monhegan Island for hiking, art, and birdwatching.
For students, K–8 attend Bristol Consolidated School, with high school options including Lincoln Academy in nearby Newcastle. Weekends might mean picnics on granite ledges, paddling in Johns Bay, or quick day trips to Boothbay Harbor; broader arts and dining await about 90 minutes away in Portland.
