Located in Kennebunkport at the mouth of the Kennebunk River, Colony Beach is a great place to relax or take a swim. This sand and pebble beach is sometimes referred to as Arundel Beach and has been described as a “pocket” beach because of its location between a breakwater and a series of rocks.
Blowing Cave is a water spout attraction, where the waves at high tide roll into a rocky opening and shoot into the air. Nearby may stand a small dolphin carved from a dead tree.
