There’s something special about a quiet moment on the shores of Kennebunk — just the sand, the tide, and a little Piping Plover making its way along the beach. 🐦

⚓️ Spring cleaning on the Kennebunk River! ⚓️
​Caught the H & H Marine tug and barge heading upriver today. They’re dredging the channel to get everything ready for the 2026 boating season. A sure sign that summer is on the way! 🌊🛥️

Why is it on the beach?
Sea Lampreys are native to Maine and move into local rivers like the Kennebunk to spawn this time of year. While they look a bit like sci-fi monsters, they are a natural part of our ecosystem and aren't a threat to people on the sand. Just a cool, prehistoric neighbor passing through!

Kennebunk Coastal Association is collaborating with the town to make a splash with additional bike racks at the beach this summer. Look for them soon!
