Despite your best efforts, Mother Nature can sometimes put a damper on your plans. However, that doesn’t mean your day has to go from fun to boring. For guests at Smuggler’s Cove Inn, there’s no shortage of things to do in Midcoast Maine on a rainy day. Even if the weather’s soggy, you can still enjoy great experiences at nearby indoor activities.
A Checklist of Indoor Activities in Boothbay Harbor
While Midcoast Maine is known for its wealth of outdoor adventures, there are also plenty of things to do indoors.
- Visit Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop to stock up on books. Bring your haul back to your room and curl up with your latest read as you enjoy the sound of the falling rain.
- Explore the Maine State Aquarium. Open seasonally, this spot is a great rainy-day destination and gives you a chance to visit some of the animals that live in the Gulf of Maine.
- Learn about local history at the Boothbay Region Historical Society. Here, you can explore exhibits comprised of photos, artifacts, history files, and more that tell the tale of this region.
- Browse local art galleries like Joy to the Wind Gallery and the Boothbay Region Art Foundation. While you’ll need to venture outside as you hop from place to place, these spaces are the perfect place to find incredible works of art to remember your trip by.
- Catch a show. See what’s on stage at the Carousel Music Theater or Opera House at Boothbay House. For a classic rainy day experience, grab some popcorn and watch a movie at Harbor Theater.
