- Our next stop on our New England Summer RoadTrip is in Maine! The last time we were here was for Fall of 2022 & we loved it so much that we had to come back! When we were there in the fall all we heard from people was that we had to come back during summer, because that was the best time! They were not wrong! Every town is so picturesque & beautiful! The beaches are packed full, sail boats on the water, flowers in bloom, & the towns are alive! It was incredible! In this vlog we spend our time on the south end of Maine, exploring the popular beach towns of York, Ogunquit, & Kennebunkport. We absolutely loved all 3! There is great shopping, great food, & incredible views in all 3! We spent our time at the beach at Long Sands Beach in York, but there are some great beach opportunities at Short Sands Beach & Ogunquit Beach, as we saw! Maine is a must on a New England Summer! Hope you enjoy!
Next Up: New England Summer: Boston

I haven’t had a relaxing time washing dishes if I don’t hear that “woah oh oh ohhh” from your vlogs and spend my whole time watching it
This is very special.
Thank you! Thank you for watching! 🧡
I live in York, Maine! Thanks for visiting. It’s a great place to visit and to have a family!
We loved it so much! We can definitely believe that! It was one of our favorite stops! 🧡
✨ Another amazing video of yours, guys! ❤ The whole atmosphere of Maine is like for real something out of the movies. Can't wait for the video from Boston!✨
Thanks so much!! 🤟 Thanks again for watching! 🧡 It really is so beautiful! We can't wait to share! Boston is a special place!
Many memories as a child from the places you visited. My grandparents had a cottage on Long Sands Beach. Pretty close to where you were sitting. The one thing that no longer exist are the clam shacks that were on the beach side. They were gone the last couple of times we visited. So glad you enjoyed yourself.
That's so cool! You can tell there is a lot of history there in Long Sands/Short Sands Beach. Those homes are absolutely adorable! Oh, I bet the clam shacks were so cool! Thanks so much for watching & for the kind words! 🧡
Your guys videos make me so happy! Thanks for sharing your trips! 🥰
Thanks so much for saying that 🥹🧡 Thank you for watching!!
First video I’ve seen from you loved it❤ you really captured the beauty of the place. A lot of TH-camrs forget to do that and just talk through the whole video loved your content.😊
Thanks so much for the kind words! 🧡 That means so much! We try our best to show off the beauty of places, but the videos don't even do it justice! Thanks for watching! 🫶
Such a cute video! Y’all gotta come back for some winter surfing 🏄♂️ 🥰
Awesome vid! I’m heading south to Newport from New Brunswick Canada in a couple weeks. It’s like you guys just perfectly planned my vacay for me!
my husband and I are going to maine & mass for 9 days the first of October, and i've been watching all of your videos on the places we'll be visiting. great content, and i've made lots of notes. i'm a new subscriber now. :)
So fun I just went to all these places this week too and then I saw this video!
That's so crazy! Hope you had the best time on your trip! 🧡
Hi there. Mainer here. It's funny that you all missed the most famous beach in Maine. Old Orchard Beach is a tourist mecca here. It has it's own pier and amusement park. Tons of shops restaraunts and bars. It's stunning.
Thank you for the great video. We'll take a lot of tips with us in October 🤩🤩🤩thank you very much for that
Thanks so much for watching! We have a fall vlog of New England and specifically Bar Harbor and the Maine Coast if you haven’t seen it! It was an incredible trip for fall! 🧡🍁
Great video enjoyed it, we are going in Mid September. We love Maine beach towns.
I want to visit New England and perhaps retire there. We'll see! Great video folks!
It's a beautiful place! We could see ourselves living there too! Thanks for watching!
I've been to Maine the past two summers. I absolutely love it there! Watching this made me want to book a last-minute flight!
It really is so special! It's so unique & beautiful! Where did you visit in Maine? I don't think you would be disappointed if you did a last-minute trip! 🧡
@JamesandMeg I've been up and down the Maine coast, literally Portland to Bar Harbor/Acadia with so many stops in between all along Route 1. Last year, I even ventured to Lubec. I'm obsessed! 😂 🥰
My wife n I are so happy u guys loved York Maine we go up there every summer. We got married there too. Her grandfather live in RI too.
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching! 🧡 I can imagine that was an amazing place to get Married! We wish we lived close enough to visit all the time, it was such a great experience!
What was the temperature and weather like during this time? Thanks
Advice: would be cool to put on screen in the beginning the temp and time period so we have an idea how weather is during the different seasons. Thanks
My fiancé and I just spend the day up in York yesterday, goldenrod has the best taffy!!!!
That's awesome!! We're so sad we didn't grab some taffy at Goldenrod! We should have! 😅 Thanks for watching!
You got a new subscriber 🎉❤ can’t wait to stay tuned
Saw this in the sidebar and I'm glad I checked it out 😎. Until last year, I lived in Maine, so it was very interesting to see a video about the coast in summer from a tourist's perspective. You both had a nice overview of the main sites to see as well as scenic footage. Nubble is nice, but I'd argue that Portland Head Light is more impressive (check it out next time). Also, locals would definitely _not_ consider The Clam Shack as the "best" lobster roll, most agree that Red's Eats in Wiscasset is the unequivocally best lobster roll. And yes, Red's will serve it to you in a warm, buttered bun 🦞. Kennebunkport is indeed targeted to an older, more refined crowd. It's home to Maine's only AAA 5 diamond restaurant, The White Barn Inn. If you'd driven a bit down Ocean Avenue (Route 9) from Dock Square you'd have seen Walker's Point, the Bush family summer home. Lastly, the water is definitely colder than the West Coast, you're right. Perhaps plan a return trip for January 1st so you guys can participate in the annual "Lobster Dip" and swim in the ocean, ha ha (I've done it, but I'd only stay in about 5 seconds ha ha). 👏
Oh wow, IDK if we could do the Lobster Dip! I can't imagine how cold that is 🥶 We were freezing just putting our feet in 😂 Thanks so much for all the suggestions! We will definitely have to keep these in mind for next time! I figured from a Local perspective there is probably a hidden gem Lobster Roll spot! We'll have to try Red Eats! Thanks so much for watching 🤟
We’re here visiting Maine now (end of September) my husband is originally from Maine. I just had the best lobster roll at Becky’s Diner in Old Port, Portland. Worth the 15 minute wait!❤🦞
Love Kennebunkport. Had the best lobster tour
It is a cutie little town! We will have to plan a Lobster tour next time! Thanks for watching! 🤟
Great vlog! Thank you both 👍😎
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching 🤟
You better spoil that wife of yours every single day! What an absolute gem!😍
I try my best! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Nice video 👌👍
Thank you! 🫶
After watching your Maine videos, I book a trip to Bar Harbor for my birthday in October. Will be my first time in Maine. 😊
That will be an amazing trip! Bar Harbor in October is a special place! The fall leaves will be beautiful! Just make sure you're going the first couple weeks of October. I believe some of the places start shutting down towards the end of the month due to seasonal changes. Thanks for watching!
Just started watching recently, you guys are so cute together. Absolutely love the content
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching! 🧡 Thank you for the kind words! We ended up going to Portsmouth on our way back on this trip, but only explored the town for a short time. We love Portsmouth! But honestly we love all things New England! 🤟
@@JamesandMeg Oh yeah haha! I hadn't watched the full video before commenting lol. Look forward to future adventures
I love that y'all went I go to that same part where you guys were I'm actually going this weekend leaving Friday hopefully the weather is nice did you guys go to mikes clamshack
Have a great time!! We can't wait to go back! Hope the weather is great for you guys! We didn't make it to Mikes Clam Shack, we'll have to try it next time!
Ciao Buongiorno Egregi Signori, Grande! 👍
Thank you!
Beautiful video! ! By the way, what is the name of the song in the video at 26:46, so frustrating because I can’t find the name…
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching! 🧡 The song is called "Good Time" by Mike Mains
Where did you get the Maine sweater from?
My Aunt is so annoyed with the amount of visitors in Ogunquit. She said years ago, it was not like that. When I go up it is crazy busy, but I love the town. My Mom says the amount of people going up there is out of control. My Fiancés family is all from there. But I call them mine as well.
Good thing for your aunt it probably means her property value is sky rocketing!! 😂 I (James) work in real estate here in GA and a lot of places here that have seen a significant uptick in tourism home values have gone through the roof! I know it has to be frustrating not having the peace your used to! We were blown away with how busy it was! Thanks again for watching! 🫶
The water in Maine is brutal, so cold it hurts.
❤
🤟
Epic…🔥 who is the KJP of Maine? lol
LL Bean!
Definitely LL Bean! lol They have their flagship store there a little further north up the coast! Thanks for watching!
Definitely!
Hi!!!
Where did you get your Maine tshirt? I love them!!
We got it from Maine Originals in Perkins Cove (Ogunquit)! We show it in the vlog at the 6:50 mark & they have a lot of great stuff there! Thanks so much for watching! 🧡
Thank you!!🥰
The word Ogunquit means beautiful place by the sea
That's amazing! It is definitely true!! 🧡 Thanks for watching 🤟
nobody calls it cape Nedick,.... its the Nubble Lighthouse!
That's good to know! thank you!
Where did you get the matching set from??
Here’s the link! 🥰 rstyle.me/+F8YP1hrAw1o2JPIh1ggIig
I will say that the place looks gourgious and beach looks great from afar. But as far as beaches go, they just dont look appealing compared to the beaches in Florida :)
I go every year
That's awesome! It such a great place to vacation!
Your videos are amazing!! Please like and subscribe if you are watching this!! You will love the content!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much! 🥹🫶 Thanks for watching!! 🧡
I used to live in Maine then moved because of videos like this. Its causing so much over-tourism.
That's too bad! Maine is a beautiful place that should be explored by all that can or wants to, respectfully! 🧡 I'm sure the local businesses & home values sure aren't sad about it! Hope you're enjoying your new location. Thanks for watching!
