I am so glad I chose to spend the summer in Maine. I went on a coastal road trip with a friend that visited me up here. We stopped in several cute towns on the coast of Maine, and wandered to many lighthouses on the way.
My favorite town was Camden. It was so endearing with nice views of the harbor and boats. I was able to try a Maine delicacy: lobster roll. I can’t say I am a big fan.
I really enjoyed visiting all of the lighthouses. The Pemaquid Point lighthouse had stunning views and they even allow you to go inside, all the way to the top.
We also stopped by this famous lighthouse from the Forrest Gump movie. It was even nicer in real life.
My preferred lighthouse is in Portland, Maine. It is located in the Cape Elizabeth area at Fort Williams Park. It is beautiful and I liked how families gathered there to enjoy the weekend.
A highlight of my time in Maine would definitely have to be going to Acadia National Park. There were many hiking paths, awesome views from mountain peaks, and beaches. The day I went, it was a bit cool so the beach was covered in fog. It looked like what I always expected Cape Cod to look like.
Additionally, Jordan pound was spectacular at Acadia. You can even enjoy lunch or coffee at the Jordon Pond House restaurant while enjoying natural views.
On a side note, I love being in New England because you are so close to the other states. I was able to take weekend trips visiting a friend in Boston, and exploring New Hampshire and Vermont.
My only wish is that I could remain here for fall. However, since snow fall starts as early as November I will not be extending.
