Maine is again receiving more national recognition! This time by Coastal Living magazine. Kennebunkport graces the top ten list for the top ten “happiest seaside towns” in the country.
Coastal Living editors revealed a list of their “Happiest Seaside Towns” in the February 2013 issue and then asked the rest of America to vote for their favorite. Fans rallied around their favorite towns and voted often. Beaufort came in first place followed by Harwich Port, Massachusetts.
It’s true that folks from New England and especially “Mainers” take pride in their hometowns and this is an example of that from Kennebunkport. Editor-in-Chief Antonia Van Der Meer said, “People take great pride in their home towns and we at Coastal Living are thrilled to share their happy little secret with the rest of America.” We couldn’t agree more.
The top ten looks like this:
1. Beaufort, SC
2. Harwich Port, MA
3. Sanibel Island, FL
4. Sag Harbor, NY
5. Newport, RI
6. Rowayton, CT
7. Kennebunkport, ME
8. Pā’ia Town, Maui, HI
9. La Jolla, CA
10. Pescadero, CA
