West-Bath
is the gateway to Sagadahoc County as you travel north from Brunswick along Maine's southern coast. With the New Meadows River on one side and the Casco Bay on the other, West Bath is coastal in character, with small private coves, salt marshes and fields. Located approximately 35 miles north of Portland between Brunswick and Bath, West Bath has a population of less than 2,000 year round residents, but that figure increases during the summer months. Originally, West Bath was a part of the town of Bath, but incorporated as its own city on Valentine's Day, 1844. The village of West Bath retains its own small town charm, yet has access to the unique mix of shops, restaurants and services in neighboring downtown Bath. Both towns have 19th century brick buildings and a friendly, slow pace reminiscent of yesteryear. Nestled along the sparkling river, shipyards once lined the river's edge and boats built in Bath sailed the seas around the world. Today, you can find all kinds of outdoor activities in West Bath, including boating and sailing, fishing, hiking, exploring the nearby islands and lighthouses and boat tours. The well-known Maine Maritime Museum is also located in Bath.
