Boothbay Harbor is a town in Lincoln County, Maine, United States. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Boothbay Railway Village and Coastal Maine Popcorn Co. Change things up with these side-trips from Boothbay Harbor: Augusta (The Senator Spa & Maine State Museum) and Maine Maritime Museum (in Bath). There's much more to do: see majestic marine mammals with Cap'n Fish's Cruises, step off the mainland to explore Cabbage Island, look for gifts at Enchantments, and admire nature's wide array of creatures at Maine State Aquarium.
