A few years ago I joined a friend on a good old fashioned windjammer cruise off the coast of Maine. The windjammer was a beautiful wooden sailboat named the Heritage, that is fairly new but built in the 19th centyry style. Rockland & Camden, Maine offer a fleet of different windjammers to take for 4…

Yes, unlike the part of the park that is on the island, and features the loved loop road, Schoodic is free! and just as beautiful (if not more).
The Schoodic Peninsula is the only part of Acadia National Park that is on the mainland.
Make sure not to miss it, since most people go to the part of th…

I try to avoid restaurant reviews because they seem so fleeting and I find it strange photographing my meal, lol (though I will confess TB is revising my opinion of pictures – I took more pictures of Maine this weekend then I did during the ten years I lived here!). However, Street & Company was …

Since you’ve ventured across the cribstone bridge, there’s no sense in stopping now. Continue winding through the delightful cottages of Bailey Island to the dead end of Route 24 and revel in Land’s End – Maine style. As a previous employee of LL Bean, I’ve always been tickled by the nam…

If you are a music lover, you will love this festival. The North Atlantic Blues Festival comes around once a year to the Harbor Park in Rockland, Maine.
It is a good family environment, they have merchant booths set up and vendors are everywhere. It is a full day of music and good times in a n…

A Mecca of a different sort is located just north of Yarmouth in Maine. Freeport is a massive shopping mall disguised as a quaint New England town. There are no rotund enclosures housing a bazillion stores, but every façade along the main drag is a retail shop of one sort or another. This was all…

If you want to enjoy your lobster dinner in surroundings that are a bit more upscale than a ‘shack,’ move on up to Cooks Lobster House on Bailey’s Island. Cooks has been voted the #1 seafood restaurant in mid-coast Maine since 1995, and for good reason. My first visit to Cooks was 1986 and t…

An exceptionally pleasant diversion during a trip to Acadia National Park is to overnight on Long Island. One of many ‘Long Islands’, this version rests in pretty Blue Hill Bay and is uninhabited, managed by the National Park Service with several camp sites along the shoreline. You get there by…

So a few weekends ago I got bored and decided that I always wanted to drive to Maine to eat a fresh Maine Lobster roll. So I drove up to Kittery Maine which is only about 1 hour drive give or take a few. I never heard of this place before but I spotted it on the side of the road and said, let me try…

One of the most readily accessible jewels of Maine lies in Cape Elizabeth, adjacent to Portland. The jewel is Portland Head - Maine’s oldest lighthouse, and perhaps it's most stunning. The lighthouse is open sunrise to sunset year round with no admission, because it sits in the splendid Fort Wil…

Seguin Island Light is a landmark Maine beacon for several reasons. Sitting two miles into the ocean at the mouth of the highly trafficked Kennebec River, Seguin Island was an obvious choice to station a guiding light. Not surprisingly, one of the earliest lighthouses in Maine was originally built…

One of two hotels on Monhegan Island, the Monhegan House is a rambling three-story building which meshes with the comfort of the island. While decidedly down-scale, I find the weather-beaten aspect charming and part of the local lore. The facility has been hosting guests since 1870 and I love the …

Aware of the many ‘bridge’ fans here at TravBuddy, I am compelled to highlight the unique conduit linking Orr’s and Bailey Islands in Maine. Although there had been a desire for many years to span the gap with the charming name of ‘Will’s Gut’, funding and nasty tides complicated the ma…

If you are looking for something special to savor during your Maine vacation, a stay at Norumbega in Camden will provide you with a memorable experience. This is a bona fide mansion, built in the 1880’s by Joseph Stearns, a native Mainer who was the inventor of duplex telegraphy (which he sold to…

A great stop as you head north from Portland along I-295 is to take exit 17 at Yarmouth and visit the DeLorme map store. If you haven’t heard, DeLorme is a long time purveyor of maps – for years they were known for their splendid Maine Atlas & Gazetteer, a booklet dividing the state into detail…

This is a really great place. It's tucked away off some road where it dead ends. Had some really good food here, its right on the ocean. Order your food and grab it then you can either sit inside or outside on picnic tables. Very casual. The crab cakes are to die for, and of course the chowder. Fres…

Portland Breakwater Light, more commonly referred to as Bug Light, is a teeny beacon in Portland Harbor. A 24-foot high granite tower built in 1875 (first version was erected in 1855), it doesn't look too distinct - but is supposed to have been based on an ancient Athenian structure (the Choragic m…
