Things To Do
Downtown Bath
Where most people will be staying, Bath has an adorable downtown with cute shops and other fun places to visit right on the Kennebunk River. Check out the farmer's market on Saturday morning, and make sure to try Maine's famous blueberries if you've never had them.
Popham Beach
One of the few traditional sandy beaches in Maine (most are rocky). If the weather is warm, you can have a great beach day and even try out the water. And there's a great lobster shack nearby called Spinney's.
Maine Maritime Museum
A fun little museum documenting Bath's history as a center for the American manufacturing of seafaring vessels.
L.L.Bean
Located roughly halfway between Portalnd and Bath, the original L.L. Bean store is also home to the giant bean boot! In addition, there are fantastic Maine-brand stores right along Freeport's Main Street.
Bowdoin College and Brunswick
One of New England's famous liberal arts colleges, Bowdoin is home to beautiful architecture, and the town of Brunswick has a few good restaurants and pubs as well.
Portland
Maine's largest city, Portland has become quite the tourist destination over the last few years, thanks mainly to its countless bars and breweries, restaurants, shops, and other fun things to do. You should definitely stop by, especially if you're flying out of here.
Allagash Brewing Company
Maine has plenty of amazing breweries, but Allagash is certainly its most famous.
Casco Bay Islands
The islands of Casco Bay are dotted with small towns and villages and are some of the oldest settlements in Maine. The islands offer fun places for walks, bicycle rides, relaxed meals and an even more slowed-down pace and remote feeling from the mainland. To get to the islands, take the Casco Bay Lines ferries from Portland.
Acadia National Park
Arguably the most beautiful national park on the East Coast. It has some beautiful hiking trails that go along the stunning, craggy coastline.
Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park, and is a great place to stop for a good meal, harbor walk, and some tourist shopping.
Boothbay Harbor
One of Maine's many great coastal towns, home to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
Deer Isle
Deer Isle is an area of Maine that Newlin's family has been visiting for years. It is home one of the most photographed harbors in the state, Stonington Harbor. It is also a haven for artist studios.
The Kennebunks
The Kennebunks — which includes Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise, and Goose Rocks Beach — may have gained notoriety for being the address of President George W. Bush’s summer compound (Walker’s Point), but this coastal area has come into its own as a popular spot for cozy bed-and-breakfasts, boutiques, boats, biking, and beaches.
