Bristol is located on the scenic Pemaquid Peninsula, approximately 60 miles north of Portland, and is made up of five charming villages: Bristol Mills, Round Pond, Chamberlain, New Harbor and Pemaquid.

Rich in natural beauty and history, you can spend a day or several-exploring Bristol’s many sites and activities. A sample itinerary might include the spectacular scenery at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (featured on the Maine State Quarter), the archaeological sites at Colonial Pemaquid and Fort William Henry, a refreshing swim in the Atlantic at Pemaquid Beach, and finally, rewarding yourself with the freshest lobster you’ll find anywhere.
