Why Maine is the perfect coastal escape 🦞

Maine truly has something for everyone! No matter what time of year it is! In the summer there are endless charming coastal towns to explore like Portland, Bar Harbor, York, Boothbay and so many more!

Maine is also known for its lobster 🦞 and Portland has been named one of the best cities for “foodies” in the country! Again, there is truly something for everyone! Even when it comes to cuisine.

If you travel inland away from the rocky coastline you’ll find beautiful rolling mountains and get areas for hiking, skiing and camping! Sugarloaf Mountain and Sunday River Resort both offer great outdoor activities year round!
