The Boothbay and Wiscasset regions are destinations for summer visitors and vacationers who usually look to purchase something to remember their visit.
For decades, the downtown businesses in both towns have catered to visitors, as well as residents, by offering a wide variety of items for personal use or gift-giving.
You can find a multitude of items, from decorative pieces made by Maine artisans to the obligatory T-shirts and hats. There are bookstores, art galleries, toy stores, candy stores, clothing stores, stores that offer hard-to-find items, and much more.
Some of the stores offer food to consume while strolling the sidewalks or to bring home to enjoy – taffy, fudge, ice cream, candy, sandwiches, chips, etc.
If you aren’t taking a boat ride or just relaxing, be sure to check out the offerings in the downtown shops of Boothbay Harbor and Wiscasset.
