It's worth checking out as the area is very beautiful. Right next to the beach is a horse farm/ranch with many beautiful horses grazing the landscape. Very beautiful.

We walked to past the Bush home and it was lovely looking at the ocean and all the old homes. The old church along the way was worth seeing too.

We tried walking along Parsons way as it carved back and forth and the sea side of the Ocen Ave - perhaps we were in the wrong place but we did see a sign that said Parson's Way the views on the rocks are beautiful but in the summer things are a little hairy along the road.

Whenever we visit Maine, we always stop at Parson's Way to walk and take photos. In the winter, we stay close to the beginning because of the weather. In the spring we always take a walk stopping often to admire the beautiful view!

My husband and I LOVED discovering Parson's Way near our hotel. The path winds along the shoreline on Ocean Avenue on the southern tip of Kennebunnkport. Walking by the beautiful waterfront homes, the rocky shore, and St. Anne's Church was just the kind of "Maine" experience I was hoping to find on our anniversary trip. It was the perfect Sunday...

What a great walk with spectacular views. The houses along the walk are amazing to look at. We stopped manytimes during the walk to sit on a rock or walk down to the water to take in the view and the sound of shuffling rocks or the ocean crashing down on the rocky coast. The only downfall is that its... More

This is a nice paved walk that leads you around the end of Kennebunkport. You pass a beautiful church along the way - if the gates are open you can look inside. The church has an oceanfront chapel as well that is lovely.'The path continues past alker Point (George Bush's estate) You can get a great view from the path... More
