New Harbor is a small scenic coastal village in the town of Bristol, in Lincoln County, Maine, United States.

One of its most notable historic sites is Colonial Pemaquid, which has a long history dating back to Native Americans who lived in the area at least seven thousand years ago.

Today, Colonial Pemaquid is a State Historic Site owned and managed by the Bureau of Parks and Public Lands, part of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry.

Hatch's recollections provide insight into the early settlement's layout, including the locations of blacksmith forges, paved streets, and burial sites.

[12] In 1958 there was a special town meeting held where voters of New Harbor approved a large purchase of what was once called "Big Beach."

This town purchase officially made the beach public, allowing all residents to visit any time of the year even when closed in the off-season.
