Traveling Along Maine's Seacoast by Kent Pinkerton

Maine is a beautiful state that is a very popular tourist destination. It has a long coastline of about 5500 kilometers. It is a paradise for nature lovers, who can explore the coastal preserves, beaches, inland islands and tidal rivers that make up the extended coastline from Newbury Port to Kennebunk.

Maine is an ideal vacation destination for families and nature lovers of all ages. The land is ideal for those who dream of strolling through peaceful woodlands. There are gardens, woodlands, mountains and forests that boast of rare flora and fauna. It has a rich heritage of art and culture, which is seen all along the coastal belt, as well as in the country.

Hitch hiking is a favorite pastime with many tourists and it is possible to hike or drive up to a breathtaking view of the ocean, the various islands and even the harbor. It is a very rejuvenating experience to stroll along the harbor, with the salty air caressing the skin.

Penobscot Bay is perhaps the most scenic water body on the eastern coast. There are lots of islands along this coast, sprinkled liberally, with lighthouses and harbors and many lobster boats. A lover of flora and fauna will be enthralled with the exquisite flora dotting the entire highway. The nests of Ospreys and bald eagles high in the rooks along the jagged shores are unforgettable sights.

The scenic harbors along the coastline have lobster traps that offer a visitor a novel experience. Driving down the picturesque peninsula and the quaint villages, the country roads and open landscapes is an invigorating experience. It offers relief and a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The tourists can relax and dance to the rhythm of the summer music of the locals, at night.
