The Mid-Coast Area
The Harbor View Inn is only a three-minute walk that takes you
to the shops, art galleries, restaurants and antique dealers in Newcastle Maine
or across the bridge in Damariscotta Maine. Enjoy concerts and arts and
crafts exhibits at the Round Top Center for the Arts.
The ideal location of the Harbor View Inn
affords easy day trips encompassing countless points of interest and activities. The
magnificent harbor at Boothbay with whale-watching, island
clambakes and fishing excursions lies less than 20 miles away down the River
Road. A short drive down the other side of the river takes you to Pemaquid
with its beach, fort and lighthouse, and to the quaint village of New
Harbor for lobsters or cruises to Monhegan Island and Puffin Watches.
"...ideal location close to quaint shops, a wonderful bookstore and great
crabcakes in Damariscotta..."
Also within an easy drive, but to the south, are such attractions as the Bowdoin College Museums and the Maine State Music Theater in Brunswick, the Maine Maritime Museum and Chocolate Church in Bath, and Freeport with its many outlet shops and L.L. Bean. You may want to hike a nearby nature trail or spend some time at Popham Beach or Reid State Park, two of Maine's finest beaches.

Meet Your Host..
20 years ago, Joe McEntee left the corporate world to enter
culinary school, and then worked as chef and manager of several of Philadelphia's premier
restaurants. In December of 1996, he purchased the home which is now the Harbor

"Waking up to breakfast at Joe's is like going home, if your home is a four-star restaurant."
