Maine, best known for its rugged
rocky coastline and sandy beaches. The Pine
Tree state is a vacationland of spectacular seascapes, lighthouses, and
lobster fishing villages along the expansive coast plus whitewater rivers,
lakes and mountains inland.
Maine is also a prime shopping destination with name-brand factory outlets
and legendary outfitters.
Picturesque seaside villages dot the coastline with countless bays,
harbors and islands. New England's only national park, Acadia, located on
Mount Desert Island is as unique as it is awe-inspiring – including
Cadillac Mountain where the earliest sunrise on the East Coast appears.
Portland, Maine’s largest city, has a cosmopolitan flair, while cherishing
an incredible seagoing history. The restored Old Port is home to excellent
restaurants, colorful pubs, and delightful boutiques. Portland’s downtown
offers classic theatre, symphony and a world-renowned collection of
architecture, art and literature.
Moving away from the coast, Maine is about seasonal wilderness, fresh
water lakes and mountains await your adventure – be it fishing, biking,
hiking, canoeing, whitewater rafting, skiing or snowmobiling.
Lodging in Maine depends upon your preference, romantic, family or fun. If
you wish to sleep in a century old historic inn or B&B, Maine has many –
some of which were once sea captains' homes.
Resorts along the coast, on pristine lakes, and at the base of magnificent
mountains are available for those looking for activity packed respites.
Families and couples visiting Maine will find campgrounds, cottages,
condos, hotels and motels to choose from.
Maine is loved for its food, and fresh seafood including
Lobster is at the
top of the list. Maine harvests the country’s finest blueberries and
native strawberries during the glorious summer months, and maple syrup as
crisp fall air transforms foliage into a burst of autumn colors.
