Belfast has been named Maine’s coolest small towns, by Budget Travel. This small seaside city has plenty of shops, restaurants and art galleries that capture the flavor of Penobscot Bay. The Belfast region is rich in seafaring history too.
The Belfast Harbor Walk is a great way to see the coastline, starting at the Armistice footbridge, and stroll along the waterfront and City Landing, Heritage Park, with views of the docks, boats and out to sea all the way to the Belfast Boathouse from Steamboat Landing and Front Street. Find lodgings in a sea captains’ grand home that has been transformed into a charming bed & breakfast, visiting local arts and craft boutiques along the Harbor Walk, and dining on the local flavor – lobster, that’s Belfast!
Searsport is also home to several famous sea captains in Maine. Settled in the 1670’s, Searsport has a maritime history as deep as its salt water harbor. Searsport is the second deepest port in Maine, which made it the ideal shipping center for Maine potatoes and timber which were sent down via the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad as exports. Searsport is home to the Penobscot Maritime Museum and host to many antique shops along famous Route 1 as well.
