Nearly as big as the rest of the New England states put together, Maine is known for its long coastline, rocky islands and majestic mountains. A holiday to Maine offers amazing hiking and biking, and in winter, skiing and boarding. Year-round, there is great shopping, the freshest seafood, and fine museums.

Downeast Maine is filled with natural wonders — from Acadia National Park to the peaceful woods of Grand Lake Stream. Enjoy myriad lighthouses, shopping and dining on the freshest seafood imaginable. This region also offers a medley of lodging options, from cozy B&B’s to luxurious resorts.

Some of Maine’s most popular lighthouses are located on Casco Bay and near the historic seaport of Portland, Maine’s largest city. Portland is the gateway to the Bay’s many islands and surrounding coastal communities. This region is known for its award winning cuisine, the Old Port’s lively shopping district, and diverse arts and entertainment options.

Scenic bays, craggy peninsulas and sparkling offshore islands surround Midcoast Maine’s fishing villages, seaside resorts and bustling harbor towns. This region is rich with Maine’s maritime past, and there are endless options for adventure — from biking to sea kayaking, but leave time to enjoy great dining and the thriving arts community.
