We spent three days at Popham Beach and loved it. The views are spectacular, you can walk to historic forts and at low tide walk out to a rocky island. It was a little chilly here in early October, but this is definitely a place I would recommend and hope we are able to return to in warmer weather good place to watch a sunset!

A one-hour-up/one-hour-back hiking trip is the best way to see this mountain.
Reviewed By amasland - Topsham, United States
Although it was a bit gray, foggy, and wanting to rain, it was well worth the short drive to the top of Mount Mattie. What a great view of the exquisite coast of Maine.

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a natural wonder on nearly 300 acres of shorefront in mid-coast Maine. Strolling through spectacular ornamental gardens and traversing miles of waterfront and woodland trails, visitors are delighted by the beautiful plantings, impressive stonework, waterfalls and fountains, and scenic views. It's no wonder the Gardens have been hailed as one of Maine's top three attractions. The Gardens are open 9-5 April 15 - October 12. There is a cafe and gift shop on site. A visit at any time is a memorable experience.

Great way to start the Christmas season. Wear warm clothes and gloves. You need comfortable warm, walking shoes or boots. There are lots of paths to walk with wonderful Christmas lights, Fairies Houses, displays and make sure you buy the s'more kit in the snack shop and roast s'mores on a fire. They have helpers to get the job done. THERE is kettle corn, s'mores, cookies, hot chocolate and coffee, Best Buy. Popcorn is crazy. It is great kind of corny but I think bad was $9

The WW&F Railway in Alna, ME, operates a historic steam-powered two-foot 'narrow gauge' railway through the Sheepscot Valley. The Railway traces its roots to 1894 when the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad was built north from Wiscasset. With mounting debt & little business, the W&Q reorganized as the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington. Dreams of reaching Quebec, Waterville or Farmington never materialized yet, against the odds, the railway continued to provide a valuable service. Winding through pine forests, farmlands & hamlets, the WW&F connected Maine's interior to the coast until 1933. Brought back from extinction, the railway reopened in 1989. Today, you can ride our historic steam train for a trip back in time, explore our facilities and experience the art of running a steam-powered railway. See why the WW&F’s attractions & events are some of the best things to do in Midcoast. Enjoy Maine as it was a century ago. It is yours to discover and explore – we will take you there.

Located 5 miles inland from the Camden waterfront sits our 68-acre property complete with our 200-year-old barn-turned-tasting room, gift shop, vineyard, and winery. During the summer of 2020, we are offering self-directed wine tastings with a reservation. For more information visit mainewine.com

With Covid the winery is doing reservations only. The Cellar Door was on our "must do" list for our 24 hour visit to Camden, and thanks to Carolyn at Captain Swift Inn, she got is an afternoon reservation. We sat outside on rocking chairs overlooking the grounds and vineyard (photo) and enjoyed a flight of wine each and charcuterie plate. Then picked our favorite, and bought a bottle and sat and enjoyed that as well. . It was a beautiful day, very relaxed visit, and the wine was spectacular. Definitely one of the highlights of our Camden trip!

Traveling in the time of covid means staying flexible, lowering the bar a bit, and remembering that everyone (with a few exceptions) are trying their best to keep things afloat. This Clambake is a long-standing summer tradition for my family, and when I found out we'd be able to still ship out on the Bennie Alice this summer even though the pandemic is on, I was purely thrilled. Wondering what to expect, given how much trouble places are having with the staffing, but figuring that several hours on Cabbage Island would be great no matter how the Clambake went. Happy to say that if it hadn't been for everyone wearing masks on the boat (absolutely required, no arguments) and inside the building, I'd never have known anything at all was amiss. The family was just as friendly - and the matriarch was even there as usual, to greet us all as we came off the boat - as ever. The food was just as great as ever, the island was just as beautiful as ever, the cruise (even with masks) was just as nice as ever. And everyone was taking the infection control seriously and behaving responsibly (without getting nutty and weird), so no worries on that front. This Clambake is always an amazing event, which is why so many people make it an annual tradition, and this year it also gave us the gift of briefly forgetting about all of this crazy stuff, and just being able to relax and not worry about any problems bigger than how to keep stains off our t-shirts. Lovely. Would absolutely recommend!
