Maine

Some people claim that the world's finest lobster comes from Maine. From the rustic charm of its quaint fishing villages and rocky coves, to the sophisticated allure of its museums and art galleries, Maine is blessed with unforgettable and a character all its own.

Along the sparkling dark blue and granite coast, summer is filled with sunny days and mild temperatures that make Maine a refreshing escape. Lined with postcard-perfect villages, pebbly shores and proud architecture, Maine's beaches and lakes are not crowded and capture secluded waterways, and forests are populated by historic logging villages, covered bridges and generations-old family farms. It's a place where simple summer pastimes turn into fond memories.

Locals are known fro the laid-back attitude and friendly way of life, which was of making everything feel a bit more homey and comfortable - especially when it comes to food. Maine has an abundance of delicious seafood, award-winning restaurants, and fresh-off-farm cuisine. All roadside stands and farmers markets, you can sample blueberry pies and muffins that are long-cherished recipes. When it comes to hotels, you'll find everything from flowery bed-and-breakfast to reasonably priced historic inns and resorts.

The state's independent New England streak also comes through a variety of one-of-a-kind activities, such as moose safaris, lighthouse tours, outdoors poos concerts and whale-watching. You can also day trip to Maine's picturesque islands, go sailing and white-water rafting, and play 18-hole golf courses. In the state's town and cities, you also find plenty of New England charm in artisan markets, galleries, small gourmet shops and boutiques. Indeed, Maine's natural beauty has served as a muse to many American artists and today, nationally acclaimed art museums showcase their work alongside international masters.
