Brunswick
sits on the banks of the Kennebec River near the Atlantic Ocean on the mid-coast of Maine. Originally settled in 1628, the town of Brunswick has the largest population of any city located along this section of the coast. An active community, nonetheless, Brunswick retains a small town/New England style charm. It’s home to Bowdoin College and the Brunswick Naval Air Station, which is host to occasional air shows featuring performances such as The Blue Angels. Brunswick also offers visitors a variety of restaurant choices, both causal and fine dining, unique shops, as well as theaters, museums and several festivals that are held here throughout the year. It’s just a short drive to other mid-coast attractions such as outlet shopping and the charming coastal towns of Harpswell, Orr’s Island, Boothbay Harbor and Bay Harbor. Atlantic coast beaches are 5-10 minutes away, with activities such as swimming, boating, sailing, snorkeling, water-skiing and jet skiing. Non-beach activities include hiking, rock climbing, golf, biking and hunting. Brunswick is approximately 25 miles northeast of Portland, Maine’s largest city.
