Coastal Maine: For Quaint Charm and Fresh Seafood
The ‘Why’: The coast of Maine offers a slower pace of life, storybook-worthy fishing villages, and some of the freshest seafood you will ever taste. It’s a destination that encourages you to relax and savor the simple things. Driving along the coast, stopping in towns like Kennebunkport, Camden, or Bar Harbor, provides endless scenic beauty without the need for rigorous activity.
The ‘How’:
- Visit in the late summer or early fall. You’ll miss the peak summer crowds, and the weather is often beautiful. Early fall brings the bonus of stunning foliage.
- Take a leisurely drive along Route 1 to hop between charming towns.
- Book a relaxing boat tour, whether it’s a lobster boat tour or a windjammer cruise, to see the rocky coastline and lighthouses from the water.
- Of course, you must indulge in a lobster roll (or two!). Look for unassuming lobster shacks for the most authentic experience.
