During this peak season, the town buzzes with activity, and all beachside amenities and water-based excursions are fully operational. Families especially appreciate this time for building sandcastles, swimming in the Atlantic, and taking boat tours. It's when the ocean is at its most inviting, great for children and adults alike to enjoy the water.

For a distinctly charming alternative, late May offers a wonderful opportunity to experience Kennebunkport before the peak summer rush. The weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures typically between 15°C and 20°C, which is still lovely for strolls along the beach or exploring the quaint shops of Dock Square.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kennebunkport with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

What beach activities should we do in Kennebunkport?
The best beach activities in Kennebunkport revolve around its beautiful coastline, offering opportunities for relaxation and water-based fun.

For those looking to simply unwind, a visit to Goose Rocks Beach is a must. This three-mile stretch of soft sand is popular for sunbathing, building sandcastles, and gentle walks. The calm, shallow waters here are also ideal for a swim, particularly for families with younger children, as the waves are generally very small.

Families will particularly enjoy exploring the tide pools at Colony Beach during low tide. The rocks reveal a fascinating world of small marine life like crabs and starfish, providing an engaging educational experience for children. This beach is also a good spot for collecting seashells.

For a more active experience, paddleboarding or kayaking along the Kennebunk River and out to the ocean is a popular choice. Several local outfits offer equipment rentals, allowing you to explore the coastline from a different perspective.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kennebunkport as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kennebunkport for you.
