Maine at a Glance
In Maine, eat fresh shellfish on the shores of Boothbay
Harbor as lobster boats and schooners pass by, or sea kayak the historic
North Coastline,
studded with lighthouses and old forts. The south coast cities of Kennebunkport
and Ogunquit are
known for their Victorian charm and elegant bed and breakfasts, while Portland's
arts community is rich with diversity and tradition. A hike up Bradbury
Mountain is a sure way to find fresh air and picturesque scenery, just as
cruising aboard a Maine windjammer will guarantee relaxation. In Augusta,
the state's capital, visitors can relive Maine's past at the Maine
State Museum or at the Old Fort Western, one of the oldest military forts
in the United States. Visitors can also experience the beauty of a fall foliage
tour, available at many points throughout the state. Maine's mountains open
the gate to skiing and mountain biking, while North
Maine is a haven for fishing and hunting.
