Things To Do
Acadia National Park
A must-see if you have never been. This park encapsulates Maine's natural beauty and accommodates everyone: whether you enjoy Cadillac Mountain's stunning views from the comfort of your car, brave the North Atlantic Ocean at Sand Beach, or bike the carriage trails up to Jordan Pond House for one of their famous popovers with homemade blueberry jam. It has so much to offer!
Dyce Head Lighthouse
Built in 1828, this cute lighthouse overlooks the north side of Castine Harbor. The interior is closed to the public, but the site is picturesque. It is also the access point for a public-access trail that leads visitors to the rocky coast for breathtaking views of the ocean.
Mount Battie
For hikers and nature trail lovers alike. Camden Hills State Park offers a number of trails (Mount Battie being the most popular) ranging from easy to moderate and 0.5 to 1.5 miles long. Hike up to the summit for sweeping views of Maine forrest and Penobscot Bay. Camping and picnicking are also permitted in the park.
Primo Restaurant

Witherle Woods
Easily accessed behind The Manor Inn, Witherle Woods has 6.5 miles of trails. Discover military batteries from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, grassy fields with wildflowers, and gorgeous views of the ocean.
Castine Historical Society
Castine has a rich history that encompasses several Native American nations, the French, the Dutch, the British, and of course the early Americans. The historical society is where you can learn all about it. There are free walking tours of the town every Saturday at 10AM and exhibits currently include the Penobscot Expedition of the Revolutionary War, Castine's history in global sea trade, and the town's bicentennial quilt. And if history is really your thing, you must also check out Castine's Wilson Museum.
Big Chicken Barn
Definitely unique! A former chicken barn from Maine's heyday in the booming poultry industry, it now contains the state's largest bookstore, a trove of antiques, and many other eclectic items. You may just find that special Maine souvenir or piece of history here.
