Cosying up to the Canada border, Maine is a land of dualities. In winter, its small towns and vast wilds are blanketed in snow, and in spring and summer the natural scenery explodes with colour.
No matter when you visit, you’ll find an exciting array of activities and attractions to indulge in, and with Newmarket Holidays Maine travel packages you can get the best of this wonderfully diverse region.
Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island is a highlight of any Maine holiday. With rugged terrain alongside sandy beaches and lush forest it’s one of the country’s more varied national parks. Other unforgettable natural attractions in Maine include the tranquil Ogunquit and Old Orchard Beaches (just thirty minutes from each other), the dramatic yet unforgettable beauty of Casco Bay, and the vast, scenic Camden Hills State Park. If you want to see the state from the water you’re in luck too: most towns have companies that offer boat tours of the local area, and from May to October you can combine this with whale watching.
Although it consists mostly of small towns and fishing villages, there’s plenty of culture to soak in during a Maine holiday. Perkins Cove is known for its wonderful artisan stores and excellent local food scene. It’s also blessed with unforgettable viewpoints, making it the ideal walking tour stop-off. The Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, is one of the best in the country, offering the chance to view works from a number of America's most famous artists. And, if you’re with the family, Maine is home to several excellent amusement parks, including Palace Playland and Aquaboggan Water Park.
The Farnsworth Art Museum has artwork by luminaries such as Gilbert Stuart and Frank Benson. Easily enjoyed by all, it offers an opportunity to learn about the contemporary art scene in this part of the United States.
The six lighthouses of Casco Bay rise out of the tumult of the crushing Atlantic, making for spectacular viewpoints. Take a trip along the stretch of shore and see the rugged, surging beauty of the Maine coastline.
Camden Hills State Park might not be as wild as some of the other National and State Parks in Maine, but it is no less worth visiting. A stroll through is the perfect way to explore this gentle, undulating landscape, making it a great family day out.
A Maine boat tour can mean any number of things, but no matter what the specifics are, a journey on the sea is sure to be an activity to remember. Whether you’re heading along the diverse coast or down one of the inland waterways, you’ll be surrounded by astounding scenery.
Checking out the hiking trails in Acadia National Park is a must-do on any visit to Maine, USA. This stunning area is replete with every kind of natural highlight you could hope for, so whether you prefer lush, vine-ridden trails or leaving footprints on the sand, you’ll find your ideal amble here.
A road trip through the small towns and fishing villages of Maine is the best way to get to know the state. Check out the scenery, get to meet locals, and stumble upon sites that will live long in the memory – as long as you’re willing to explore, Maine will deliver.
Maine is famous for its blueberries
Therefore, it makes sense one of their most-loved dishes is Blueberry Pie. Made with local fruit, it's known for being sweet, moreish, and filling: it’s everything you could want in a dessert and more.
If you’re looking for a cheap and hearty hiker’s meal, then Bean-Hole Beans are for you. Effectively a pork and bean casserole, they’re extra special thanks to being cooked overnight in a hole dug into the ground (hence the name bean-hole). The depth of flavour is unbeatable, it's smoky, sweet, and everything in between.
