Real people... Real places... Real relaxation...The Real Maine™
If you're looking for the authentic Maine experience, this is it. Come visit the Maine Discovery Coast™ and incomparable Penobscot Bay, perhaps the most scenic body of water on the eastern seaboard. First explored by English sea captain George Waymouth in 1605, Penobscot Bay features scores of islands, dozens of historic lighthouses, and hundreds of quiet little protected harbors. It's the only place on the east coast where coastal mountains meet the sea. Ospreys and bald eagles nest high in the spruces along the rugged shores, puffins once again make the islands their home, and harbor seals complete their annual pilgrimage to quiet coves.

It's the Real Maine. Quintessential Maine communities await you. In historic Rockland, the retail center of Midcoast Maine, you'll find ferry service to the islands, dozens of specialty stores, more than 25 outstanding restaurants, beautiful art galleries, the Farnsworth Art Museum, and the new Maine Lighthouse Museum located in the Maine Discovery Center, the region's beautiful new visitor center. Rockland is known for its spectacular waterfront summer festivals—the Maine Lobster Festival, the North Atlantic Blues Festival, and the Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors Show. After fifty years' absence, Maine Eastern Railroad has restored rail service and rebuilt historic Union Station.

Camden, the Jewel of the Maine coast, has one of America's most scenic waterfront downtowns with outstanding boutique shopping, high-end dining and beautiful views of Penobscot Bay from atop Mt. Battie. The late Charles Kuralt once said that Rockport had the prettiest harbor in America—we think you'll agree. In the village, be sure to discover the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. Lincolnville offers the best of both worlds, lush green mountains with clear ponds or lakes as well as a rugged coastline punctuated by a small sandy beach.

Thomaston, with its antique shops and 19th century downtown, is one of New England's most historic seafaring towns and once the home of Revolutionary War hero General Henry Knox, George Washington's first Secretary of War. A truly unique shopping experience there is the Maine State Prison Showroom, with handcrafted wood products made by inmates working in the prison workshop.

The St. George peninsula (Rt. 131) features breathtaking coastal views and sedate tidal marshes. This is Wyeth country, summer home of America's most famous family of artists. You won't want to miss the tiny authentic New England villages of St. George, Tenants Harbor, and Port Clyde (and be sure to stop at the Marshall Point Lighthouse & Museum). On your way down the peninsula be sure to take in the Owls Head Transportation Museum, adjacent to Knox County Airport on Rt. 73, and the Owls Head Light, with stunning views of Penobscot Bay.

Situated on its own peninsula southwest of Thomaston, Cushing is famous for its saltwater farms. Located west of Cushing on the same peninsula, Friendship is the birthplace of the distinctive Friendship Sloop and is predominantly a fishing village whose major industry is lobstering and associated enterprises. Waldoboro, located about 18 miles south of Rockland, was once host to shipyards which launched fleets of schooners in the great age of sail; a well-preserved village reflects that early prosperity.

Inland, discover Union's quaint town square that predates the Revolution, and try the blueberry pie at the annual Union Fair. Stretched between Waldoboro and Thomaston, Warren is a farming and rural community.

Up east, Belfast is known for its historic red brick downtown and vibrant arts scene; the view down Main Street to the Passagassawakeag River is more than memorable. The Belfast area is rich in history dating back more than 200 years. Searsport (located north of Belfast on U.S. Rt. 1) is the home of the Penobscot Marine Museum and historic seafarer homes, now stately bed and breakfasts.

This is the Lobster Capital of the World and the home to the country's largest windjammer fleet. We invite you to visit the Maine Discovery Coast™ and experience The Real Maine.
