Summer Vacations in Maine: find your perfect rental from just $103 per night!
Maine has over ten coastal cities and towns, and each offers a unique beach experience as well as other attractions. Take a drive on the US 1 and marvel at the picturesque sites of the coastline and landscape as you drive from one town to the next. Here's a list of some of the favorites to help you plan your summer vacations in Maine.
If you have never been on an island, then Bar Harbor is the perfect place to vacation in Maine. In addition to the exhilarating experience you will get on Mount Desert Island, you will also get to enjoy plenty of activities at the Arcadia National Park. These include canoeing, hiking, bird watching, and horseback riding.
This is a town best known for its history of seafaring and gorgeous scenery. Take your family out on a sailing excursion on one of the yachts that offer boat rides. Make sure your boat ride tour takes you to the majestic Curtis Island Light. Once you are done, take a stroll into the town and see its iconic 18th-century buildings.
Nestled in Maine's south coast, Kennebunkport is a must-visit for anyone vacationing in Maine. The soft beach sand is perfect for unwinding, and it's easy to lose track of time. For a delicious meal, you can just take a walk along the beach to Cape Porpoise. Whether you choose to feast on fresh lobster or fried clams, you will have an exquisite dining experience.
Along the shore of Penobscot Bay, you will find Rockport, a small town located between Rockland city and Camden town. If you love sailing or picnicking, you will want to dedicate a few hours to Rockport. As you arrive, you will notice plenty of boats in the harbor. There are plenty of kayak rental shops for those who want to get in the water. After the activities, you can retreat to one of the parks where you will find several seafood eateries and picnic areas where you can enjoy your meal.
There's no better place for a family fun day in Maine than the Palace Playland in Old Orchard Beach. Some of the activities your kids will enjoy, include the water flume ride, carousel, Ferris wheel, and roller coasters. Do not forget to visit one of the gift shops before you leave. To cap off a fun-filled day, go to the beach for the fantastic fireworks displays held every week during the summer.
