Maine
towns, cities and villages worth a look... Nubble Lighthouse, York Beach, Maine (photo by Eric H.) Maine
is just
plain fun. Aptly named "Vacationland," Maine's seacoast is full of
lobster dinners, "chowda," rocky coast, seaside hotels with true Down
East character, some beautiful stretches of sandy beach and always
chilly water. Inland, there are the scenic mountain and lake regions of
Sebago, Rangeley as well as myriad small town charm to call your own on
a vacation.
There's no major city in Maine, and that's a good thing. Portland has a population of just over 60,000. At times, it seems like a city with some tall buildings and first class museums, but walk the cobblestone and brick streets, shop the small, charming quaint inns and bed and breakfasts, locally-owned stores, and you'll feel like your in a small town. The combination just calls for a vacation, as some truly spectacular restaurants and hotels are juxtaposed with "green areas," and a leisurely pace rarely found in a city. People actually stop to say "hello." -- and there not even looking for a handout! Our favorite coastal areas include Acadia National Park for its stunning mountain and ocean scenery; York for its fun beach scene and family-oriented atmosphere; and Boothbay Harbor, a classic Down East coastal town if there ever was one. Many inns, hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts come with splendid ocean views, a prime example being the Maine is our personal favorite New England state. There's a special feeling in the air that's hard to put into words. It almost seems like every step has a purpose when discovering all that Maine has to offer. It's friendly, full or personality and personalities, and the southern coastal towns of the aforementioned York, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, Wells and Old Orchard Beach offer one fun activity after another -- and plenty of that great Maine lobster and "chowda!Friendly reminder: We recommend booking your Connecticut hotel as soon as possible for your spring and summer vacations, Memorial Day and July 4th Weekends and graduation ceremony travel -- rooms can go quickly during peak weekends and seasons! |
