Southport, ME

This summer has been quiet as far as traveling goes so with September fast approaching, we decided to take a couple days and travel to Maine to an inn on the island of Southport, just a few miles south of Boothbay Harbor.We stopped for a lobster roll on the way at Portland Lobster Co. and arrived at the Newagen Seaside Inn in time for a hike along the shore,

and a beautiful sunset.

I was wide awake at 6am the next morning and slipped down to the dock for an incredible sunrise over the water.

Apparently at 7am there was a polar plunge for anyone interested…my toes were numb just dipping them in the water so I skipped that activity!

The little island of Southport has a general store and the Hendricks Head lighthouse, allowing me to take the quintessential Maine lighthouse photo!

I made sure to have a lobster roll daily…

and a gin and tonic!
