Activities / Sights

If you’re looking for things to do in Maine or beautiful/fun sights to see, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s visiting lighthouses or spending a day in the museums of Portland, we have lots of great suggestions to make your trip to Maine a memorable one. Maine is unique in that it’s not been overly developed for tourism, so many of the best things to do are rather unknown, even among Mainers.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the different activities and sights we suggest, and if you don’t see something in particular, send us a note. If we have information we’ll be happy to share!
