As big as all the other states put together, Maine is quintessential New England, chock full of pretty harbours, resort villages nestled in rolling hills, lighthouses atop craggy cliffs and quaint clapboard cafés dishing up freshly caught lobster. This is the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs, inhale the salty air and embrace the great outdoors, especially as Maine boasts New England’s only National Park, Acadia, an island oasis of soaring mountains and dramatic fjord-like estuaries.
For outdoor adventurers, the possibilities are endless on Maine holidays, whether it’s cycling along coastal inlets, riding river rapids or kayaking in peaceful harbours with playful seals. Choosing the best way to get where you want to go can be hard though, when the state is crisscrossed by gorgeous, empty roads. Perhaps head up Route 201, along the Kennebec River in search of moose, black bear and bobcats or take the Rangeley Lakes National Scenic Byway for picnics beside waterfalls in the summer or snowmobiling in the winter. Come in the autumn and the state will be flaunting her world famous fall colours.
But it’s not all about outdoor pursuits on holidays to Maine. Food lovers will be in their element with a fantastic choice of restaurants using locally sourced ingredients and the bounty of the sea. Beer connoisseurs will be bowled over by over 50 boutique breweries. Fans of retail therapy will love the outlet villages at Kittery and Freeport, not to mention the delightful antique shops around Wells, Wiscasset and beyond. And if art is your thing, then follow in the footsteps of Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer and Georgia O’Keefe, all inspired by Maine’s dramatic scenery and take the Maine Art Museum Trail, with some great galleries along the way.
For mouth-watering food, picture perfect New England scenery, exhilarating outdoor action, fabulous wildlife, boho boutiques, cosy guesthouses and locally brewed beer, come for the Maine experience on your New England holiday.
