Southport General Store & Barn

Southport General Store & Barn

ESTABLISHED 1882

Serving Southport for Well Over a Century

 

ON THE ISLAND LOOP

Welcome to the “new” Southport General Store! We have been busily working to bring you a freshened-up version of our beloved store. We made some interior modifications, expanded the menu, and added other fresh details you will discover. We hope you love our new signs! The logo was designed by hand to reflect the heritage of the store and the island, using inspiration from historic store photos and Southport cartography. The signs themselves were hand-painted using traditional sign-making methods.

PULSE OF THE ISLAND

Island community is a special thing. Just about everywhere you go you see someone you know. Neighborly stop-to-chats and waves from passers-by. We love that our little store is unofficially the “pulse” of the island. We love to see people eating sandwiches on their truck tailgates, and bikes piled up against the building. We love having to stock the cookie supply multiple times a day. We love that we are a stop you make on your daily island loop, even if it is just to say hi.

WINE, BEER & CIDER

We take great pride in our thoughtfully curated wine collection. We feature a wide selection of varieties and vintages from around the globe, each one carefully chosen to complement any meal, picnic, or special occasion. We love to chat about wine and are always ready to assist you in finding the perfect bottle or two that you will love. 
 

We put the same care into selecting our beer, cider, and mixers and have an extensive variety with consistent as well as rotating and seasonal offerings. And we carry several local brews as well as a great many regional favorites!

Having a party? Want to give a case as a wedding gift? Stocking your own cellar? We would love to assist with all your special orders. 

DELI & GROCERIES

Our deli is popular — we have sliced meats, cheeses, grillables, and deli salads. And of course we make lunches and dinners to-go. We also stock dry goods and staples for everyday needs. If there is something you purchase often and we don’t have it, please just ask!

PROPANE, ICE & OTHER NECESSITIES

Our space is limited but we strive to supply you with home and boat necessities. Especially in the warmer months, you gotta keep that propane full for the grill (we have charcoal too) and the cooler iced down! We keep these things in plenty of stock.

THE BARN

A certified Maine Made retailer focused on supporting the robust community of traditional craft in Maine; also offering creative workshops and artist talks. With new pieces arriving regularly, the Barn is ever-evolving. You will find a gorgeous selection of handcrafted jewelry, glassworks, ceramics, and home goods, all lovingly crafted in Maine. We also have craft supplies, Maine-made yarn, books, and Southport gear!

WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce

Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce

The Boothbay Harbor Region - A Coastal Gem with a Strong Community at its Heart

For over a century, the Boothbay Harbor region has drawn travelers seeking the beauty and tranquility of Maine’s famed “rock-bound coast.” With its “snug as a booth” harbor, long peninsula, and countless islands, this region is a haven for boaters, adventurers, and anyone longing to relax in a place where natural splendor meets classic New England charm. Stroll through villages lined with white clapboard homes, browse one-of-a-kind shops and galleries, and enjoy the bustle of working marinas and boatyards nestled along the rocky shoreline.

Boothbay Harbor boasts the largest fleet of excursion boats on the Maine coast—perfect for viewing lighthouses, puffins, seals, whales, and vibrant fall foliage. Deep-sea fishing cruises and scenic harbor tours leave daily, and local marinas are a favorite stop for yachtsmen. And of course, no visit is complete without sampling the region’s world-famous seafood—especially our iconic Maine lobster.

Behind all this beauty and bustle stands the Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce, an organization that for more than 60 years has supported area communities with a mission to promote a thriving local economy through advocacy, access, and leadership.  Our Chamber serves as a vital connector and cheerleader for the businesses that make our region so vibrant.

From waterfront restaurants and inns to financial services, non-profits, marine industries, and makers of all kinds, the Chamber represents a diverse and dynamic network of members. We work year-round to bolster local businesses, promote tourism, and preserve the economic well-being and unique character of our region.

Whether you’re visiting, relocating, or growing your business here, the Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce is your trusted resource and proud partner in all things Midcoast Maine.
