MAINE BEACHES With everything from nature walks along 30+ miles of sandy coastline to Broadway-level entertainment, tasty seafood shanties, and a beachside amuse- ment park, the whimsical towns of this region offer fun for the whole family. Lighthouses and welcoming places to stay dot the seascape amid elegant sea-captain mansions and cliffside hotels. Fine dining and engaging nightlife complement great shopping in antiques shops, local boutiques, and outlet stores. Enjoy a trip to this popular region south of Greater Portland.

MID-COAST Northeast of Greater Portland, this region’s culture and heritage is strongly linked to its sea-faring history, brought to life through maritime museums, tall-ship regattas, lobster competitions, and lighthouses. Meandering paths through botanical gardens burst with blooms as the walls of the world-class Farnsworth Art Museum explode with art featuring the work of the Wyeth family and Robert Indiana. Transportation museums showcase the history of planes, trains, and automobiles while the Amtrak Downeaster makes the Mid-Coast region accessible with rail trips to Brunswick, where you can dine in style and take in a Broadway-quality summer musical.
