Why Visit Maine?
Maine's coast is one of the most spectacular in America — more coastline than California, encompassing fishing villages, lobster shacks, lighthouses, and the extraordinary natural beauty of Acadia National Park. Portland has emerged as one of the finest food cities in New England, while Bar Harbor serves as the gateway to Acadia's granite peaks and carriage roads.
