Maine Coast Vacation
Divide Maine's coast into thirds and make your
Vacation planning easier.
South Coast, Mid Coast, and North Coast,
and take them in turn to investigate the options.
Your style of vacation will determine where you
go; each of these sections of the coast are
distinctly different.
In the south you have Shopping and
Museums.
Mid coast you have museums;
On the North coast you have: nature and
solitude. Each section, however, has ample
doses of all three attractions and in any section of
Maine you will find diversity.
The Maine Coast starts in the south with two bookend factory outlet towns that could pass for
shopper's theme parks: Kittery and Freeport.
There are two steam train museums, and the oldest and largest trolley museum in the world.
In The Maine Coast mid part you have an antique auto museum, a narrow gage steam train, a
shipbuilding museum, two top-notch fine arts museums, and an air museum where antique airplanes fly
and lovers of old transportation meet to swap parts and stories.
On the Maine Coast to the north you find miles of pristine coves with tiny lobster villages so often
seen on post cards.
True to its Vacation Land nickname, Maine has something for everyone and as you would expect, from
one end to the other the Maine coast has hundreds of those rocky coves and sandy beaches that you
have seen on the pages of Calendars.
On the Maine Coast you can be in the thick of eye popping attractions one day and walking along a
secluded beach the next, both just a mile from your inn or resort where every imaginable amenity including
spas, pools WiFi, golfing, shopping, and shuttle service to beaches makes your Maine vacation a unique
step back in time while keeping all the modern toys at hand.
