Maine’s Best Attractions
Maine Lighthouses are
spectacular, perched high on land, standing prominently on outlying islands,
or marking the end of rock breakwaters.
There are over 60 lighthouses on
Maine’s coast and islands, from the most photographed Nubble Light to the
eastern most lighthouse in the country - the West Quoddy Headlight.
See our Lighthouse PageMaine’s 11 foot tide is a sight to behold. The natural ebb and flow twice daily that covers rocks and beaches then recedes to reveal broad stretches of sand is not to be missed. Just be careful where you leave your beach chair or your boat. Lobsters are Maine’s best bounty from the sea. See them lively in a lobster hold or on a scenic boat tour, in a tank at a seafood market or restaurant, then enjoy them freshly steamed and bright red with butter on your plate. Lobsters to Go Walkers Point, the former summer White House for President
Bush, is a spectacular peninsula you can drive past on a scenic tour of
