- No crowds — even in peak season
- Home to the Appalachian Trail's northern terminus
3,500 Miles of
Raw Coastline
Maine's jagged, rocky coast is longer than California's. Hundreds of uninhabited islands, dramatic sea cliffs, tidal pools teeming with life, and the most-photographed lighthouses on Earth. No beach resort can compete.
- 64+ historic lighthouses still standing
- 3,000 offshore islands to discover
- World-class whale watching from June–September
