  • Popham Beach, south of Bath is gorgeous - just get there before 10AM or after 3PM and be ready for sudden fogs.
  • The classic lighthouse at Pemaquid Point with some good lobster eating nearby.
  • Boothbay Harbor is really pretty but like many towns on the coast, parking is at a premium in the summer.
  • For scenic ocean grandeur you can't go wrong with anything north of Camden/Rockport.

[edit] Itineraries

Boothbay Harbor is a working fishing village, with several world class boat builders and is host to the Annual Shipyard Cup - American Cup racing. There are scenic drives to take to enjoy ocean views, lighthouses, boating or park and talk a walk or swim. The Land Trust properties present hiking opportunities with many scenic vistas, a couple require a boat to reach but are worth the trip. Our Botanical Gardens are growing daily and could be classified as world class. The area is rich in culture with many art galleries, a musical dinner theatre, the restored Opera House hosts many note worthy events throughout the year. The 18 hole golf course presents a challenge to all good golfers.
