We drove by here playing tourist to gawk at the Bush Compound, amazed to discover a parking area with room for about six to seven vehicles. We were unaware that there was a park here. There was nothing to see at the compound worth driving there for; it was much smaller than one would expect for a "compound." But surprisingly (for us) you could see it all, since the house is so close to the public road. It's certainly a beautiful place to live. Since there was parking available, we lingered, and enjoyed the waves, still not realizing their significance. Unfortunately for the "park," its location near the Bush Compound necessities a parking time restriction, and there's not really any place to "do" anything you'd normally expect to be able to do in/at a "park."

As long as you’re careful, this is a superb place to come and admire the power...
Read moreIt's a part of the coastline of Kennebunkport. It's scenic, but, it doesn't stand out from the rest of the coastline. There are a few small trails that lead to the rocks. I didn't hear a cave blowing, but, I did hear 🙉 an airplane ✈️ flying overhead. There is a small parking 🅿️ area that has a time limit of fifteen minutes. There is a black anchor ⚓ dedicated to former president George HW Bush. This is one end 🔚 of...
