Kittery is a community that takes care of its own. Families visiting residents enjoy easy access to the beloved Kittery Outlets, where over 120 stores line Route 1, and longtime local favorites like Warren's Lobster House and Robert's Maine Grill make for meaningful family dinners after a visit. Fort McClary State Historic Site and the scenic Brave Boat Harbor area of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge offer beautiful natural surroundings that remind residents and their loved ones why Maine's coast is so treasured.
