Camden,
Maine
Picturesque Camden is situated along the
mid-coast of Maine and boasts a scenic
waterfront, amazing sea views, historic
architecture and oodles of charm. It is a
great retirement spot. The
Amazing State of Maine
One
of the seven states of New England, and the most
northern one, Maine is characterized by a
rugged, scenic coast, rolling hills and thick
forests. Parts of the state are very
remote, not easy to reach by train, plane or
automobile, but other areas, most notably
southern coastal and mid-coastal towns, are
easily accessible and often very crowded during
tourist season.
Vacationers
come for the amazing scenery (Maine has some of
the prettiest coastal areas in the entire
country) but also for the lobster and other
tasty seafood. Some of the most popular
tourist towns include Portland, Camden, Bar
Harbor, Boothbay Harbor, Kennebunkport and
Freeport, where L.L. Bean and dozens of outlet
stores are located.
But
not all of Maine is filled with tourists.
Northern and inner Maine are very rural, dotted
with pristine lakes and rivers, and far from the
madding crowds. Roadside cafes that serve
incredible blueberry pancakes and delicious (and
cheap) lobster dinners, apple cider stands,
winding country roads and friendly, down to
earth people are highlights of the Maine few
tourists see.
Summers
are humid but not too hot, and autumn's crisp,
cool air begins to arrive in late August.
Winters are not for the faint of heart, but they
are breathtakingly beautiful.
Mainers
like to say, "Ayuh, you can't there from
here," but everyone should get to amazing
Maine at least once.
