Visit Walker's Point on Ocean Avenue

Travelers looking to play paparazzi should head out on Ocean Avenue to Walker's Point, the home of the Bush family compound. When George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were in office, they hosted several influential heads of state at their family summer residence, including notable figures like Margaret Thatcher and Vladimir Putin. The Bush family continues to enjoy their summer vacations at this picturesque property.

Scenic Views and Photo Opportunities

Visitors are captivated by the stunning vistas along the aptly named Ocean Avenue. A popular recommendation is to stop at the lookout point for a photo with the Bush compound in the background. However, it's worth noting that there isn't much else to do at Walker's Point, and the secret service restricts close access. Hence, a brief visit is usually sufficient. Walker's Point is located about 3 miles south of downtown Kennebunkport.
