The town of Bristol is comprised of 8 fascinating villages, Bristol Mills,Pemaquid Harbor,Pemaquid Point, Pemaquid Beach,Pemaquid Falls,New Harbor,Chamberlain, and Round Pond. Visitors usually go straight to Pemaquid Point to see the famous lighthouse built in 1824 with the crashing surf on the granite ledges. Many visit the nearby gallery of the Pemaquid Art Association and the fisherman's museum nearby. The state park at Fort William Henry and the sand beach are wonderful spots to spend the afternoon. Bristol has many pleasant places to dine and relax. New Harbor and Round Pond are typical Maine fishing villages with fish houses and lobster Coops for a reasonable purchase of a seafood dinner to eat there or at the cottage.
