Make it to Maine
Sun-washed beaches. Charming small towns. And flavors fresh from the land and sea. Welcome to Maine.
Beaches & The Outdoors
Explore Maine’s stunning coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, where sandy beaches, rocky headlands, and more than 60 historical lighthouses set the scene. Hike to dramatic viewpoints at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island or walk serene nature paths awash in colorful blooms at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Or sail across glittering waves on an authentic windjammer cruise.
Shopping & Small-Town Culture
Arts and culture come to life in Maine’s welcoming cities and towns. Stroll the main thoroughfares of Bath, Brunswick, and Portland to shop locally owned boutiques and art galleries. Go treasure hunting for antiques and handmade items at flea markets and craft fairs throughout the year. Watch stories come to life onstage at Penobscot Theatre Company in Bangor or Ogunquit Playhouse, and see cultural exhibits at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland or Portland Museum of Art.
Dine & Drink
From iconic Maine lobsters to wild fiddlehead ferns, Maine’s land and sea bring a bounty of fresh flavors each season. See how local chefs bring these ingredients to life at charming eateries in villages like Rockport and Freedom or in James Beard Award-winning restaurants along Portland’s cobblestone streets. Explore local foodways when you stroll bustling farmers' markets and seasonal food festivals. Shop al fresco during summer farmers markets or cozy up by the fireplace with a wintery craft cocktail. Be sure to visit the Oyster Trail.
Relax & Unwind
When you come to Maine, leave behind the bustle of everyday life and make room for simple pleasures. Sunbathe. Stargaze. Sit beside a crackling summer campfire or stroll through dazzling fall foliage. Linger with friends over dinner. Let all the distractions fade away and be here, in Maine.
