Review & FAQ:
Bufflehead Cove, in Kennebunk, Maine, is a rather popular summer destination for summer tourists and locals alike. Because of this the beaches nearest the local inn are often overrun with tourists, screaming children, and summer activities. For those visitors who are looking for something a little less crowded and noisy, they should head down the road to Colony Beach.
It is a small and often overlooked destination beach that is defined by the harbor’s eastern jetty, and because of this parking is typically easy to procure.
Don’t expect any facilities at this beach, however, as only the most popular beaches tend to offer bathroom and lifeguarding services. Colony Beach Map
