Merriam Webster defines souvenir as “something kept as a reminder of a place one has visited.” When you have a trip as great as your stay at The Nonantum Resort, you have to make sure your souvenir levels up. Some travelers like to collect the same type of item from each vacation destination, such as shot glasses or mugs. Others keep their eyes peeled for something more niche, like a locally-made artwork or pottery. Whether you like to go the traditional route or unconventional, we’ve rounded up the best places to snag your souvenir. Check out these souvenir shops in Kennebunkport Maine to find your perfect take-home item to commemorate your time at The Nonantum Resort.
Visiting Shops in Kennebunkport Maine
Most of the shopping in Kennebunkport Maine is located in Dock Square and on Western Avenue. The cluster of shops is near to and straddles the Kennebunk River.

One of the biggest retail shops in Kennebunkport Maine offers apparel, home decor, paper goods, games, travel gear, and more. Specifically, Daytrip Society shows its Kennebunkport pride with t-shirts, sailor’s knot coaster sets, and items for beach days and it’s namesake—day tripping.
Saxony Imports
Get your classic destination crewnecks and mugs at Saxony Imports. The shop also sells Bush family-themed souvenirs, as Walker’s Point is a popular attraction in the area. The mini wooden lobster trap would make a unique display item for your desk at work.
