We've Got Just What You've Been Looking For.
Buy a T-shirt, send a postcard to a friend, then visit one of our clothing boutiques to find anything from casual to couture—even custom embroidered or screen printed apparel. You’ll find fine art and local crafts, ships models, beach bags, and teak furnishings that evoke the coastal lifestyle.
Be sure to visit outlying areas like Southport, East Boothbay, and Barter’s Island, where you’ll find more artists, restaurants, and stores, including treasures like the East Boothbay General Store, featuring its delicious fresh-baked goods.
What’s wonderful about our region is the sheer variety of items on offer, from the sundry to the special. Our grocery stores, hardware stores, and marine stores, and the like are fully stocked for your needs. We have pet outfitters, galleries of fine art, sporting goods, traditional country and thrift stores, a bookshop, sweet shops, landscape and garden purveyors, antique shops and, of course, plenty of places to buy the freshest, most delicious seafood just hauled from the ocean. And if you can’t find what you are looking for, ask around, someone will happily point you in the right direction.
No Ordinary Trip to the Market
Here you’ll find craft, artist, and farmer’s markets from springtime through autumn and beyond. Start with the Boothbay Farmer’s Market, held on the Commons every Thursday from May to October. This community of farmers, fishermen, and artisans provides locally produced food and related products and a fun opportunity to talk directly with local food producers. The Harbor Arts & Crafts Fair is held weekly on the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library lawn, featuring handmade items—such as jewelry, purses, jams, jellies, sea glass items, artwork, photography, and much more—sold by local craftsman.
