Depending on what interests you, downtown Kennebunkport is a great town to stroll around, nice shops, restaurants, etc. Don't forget to take a peek at the Bush Compound. Also near there on the shoreline are some natural 'blowholes' in the rocks.
Since my life is basically eat one meal, then plan your next, I have a couple of suggestions. To begin with, all the restaurants in Kennebunkport are good, you need to select the menu and price points you are comfortable with. I do have a couple favs that I have to frequent when I'm there. First, for lunch, locals flock to Bennet's Deli, great subs, sandwiches, etc. Outside tables, or togo only. A famous breakfast/lunch destination is The Maine Diner in Wells. While this place is famous, I prefer the Bull N' Claw, which is directly across the street, open for dinner only. Huge dinning room, large salad bar with soup selections.
When not eating, LOL, not far away is The Maine Classic Car Museum, in Arundel, Maine. The owner has way more cars than are on display, and rotates his showpieces every 6 months or so, something new there each visit. If you want to get a 'different' atmosphere, check out Bentley's Saloon. Bentley is a regionally famous retired race car driver that now runs a biker bar. A bit of a dive, but car racing and bike memorabilia galore, and the food (pub stuff) is good.
There is also a train museum, and place that turned the tracks into rail riders for custom bikes, all within driving distance.
Depending on your interests, there is no shortage of things to do.
