Welcome to Maine

Maine is where America wakes up first. Climb Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park and, for much of the year, you will be the very first person in the whole country to watch the sun rise over the ocean. Acadia is the crown jewel — mountains meeting the sea, granite cliffs, and rocky beaches — but the coast keeps going. Maine has 65 lighthouses scattered along a shoreline so jagged with bays and islands that it stretches thousands of miles, longer than you would ever guess. Order a lobster roll fresh off the boat, because Maine catches most of the lobster in the country. And up north, the deep woods are moose country. Below you will find every Maine map, trip, guide, and hidden gem we have.
