Wave to Canada while you stand next to the West Quoddy Station lighthouse. Enjoy a stroll at the Hamilton Cove Preserve where seals and bald eagles abound. Take your passport and cross into New Brunswick and Roosevelt Campobello International Park for a tour. It is where the Roosevelts once summered and the park offers a 'Tea with Eleanor', a high tea served featuring homemade cookies. Working Waterfronts The last working waterfronts are found in Maine. Go early and see lobster boats return with their bountiful catches, then enjoy the freshest of seafood at a lobster shack where lobster rolls, fried oysters and scallops abound. Learn to catch lobster on a lobster cruise or kayak your way in a guided tour of oyster farms along the coast. For adventure, join Hardy Boat on a puffin watch cruise near Camden, or take part in a whale watch in Bar Harbor or Portland. Nothing is more emblematic of Maine than the more than 60 historic lighthouses scattered along its coast. Plan your whole trip around them, or just see a few by boat tour – but be sure to visit at least one while you’re here. Dark Sky Sanctuary There are just 13 International Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the entire world and Katahdin Woods and Waters Monument is one of them. No light pollution and vast spaces allow visitors to gaze at starry skies and perhaps see the Aurora Borealis, just like the native Wabanaki people would have seen 11,000 years ago. Sleep in a cabin at the Appalachian Mountain Club, an international Dark Sky Park. Whether a night owl or an early riser, Maine is sure to mesmerise. visitmaine.com Rugged coastlines, lakes and mountains, sea kayaking, whitewater rafting, lobster, oysters and crafts Maine is...
