Maine Travel Guide
If you're looking for a great getaway, then head to Maine. You'll find something special in each region. Embark on outdoor adventures like llama trekking, camping, skiing and snowmobiling. Go antiquing in charming villages. Relax on sandy beaches. Encounter amazing wildlife including whales, puffins and the mighty moose.
The south coast cities of Kennebunkport and Ogunquit are known for their Victorian charm and elegant bed and breakfasts, while Portland's arts community is rich with diversity and tradition. A hike up Bradbury Mountain is a sure way to find fresh air and picturesque scenery, just as cruising aboard a Maine windjammer will guarantee relaxation.
In Augusta, the state's capital, visitors can relive Maine's past at the Maine State Museum, or experience the beauty of a Fall Foliage tour. Don't forget to visit Bangor . This small town was the 19th century lumber capital of the world, and is the 'true' birthplace of Paul Bunyan, despite what Minnesotans claim.
Fine dining is available everywhere, from old fashioned Lobster Clambakes to five star service at the finest restaurants. Quaint New England Bed and Breakfasts line the roads in both populated and tranquil spots. Campgrounds for the adventure-spirited, and outlet shopping for those who appreciate comfort. Don't think for a second, however, that the state is a hidden gem, it thrives on tourism, and knows it. Summertime sponsors thousands of tourists from all across the world to gasp at the breathtaking scenery, relax by the Coast, and enjoy a lobster or two fresh from the icy waters of the Atlantic. So you'll never have to fear being alone, unless you want to.
