Ride up the coast to get to Down East and
Acadia, a region well-known for its lobster,
lighthouses, glacial movements of Acadia National
Park and dramatic tides of Passamaquoddy
Bay. Boasting some of the most scenic coastline
in New England, the Down East and Acadia
region is dotted with quaint villages, history,
natural wonders, shopping and a wide range of
restaurants, where you can enjoy fresh off-the-boat lobster from the local fishermen.
Coastal activities are endless in this picturesque
region of Maine, including whale and puffi n
excursions, as well as sailing, sea kayaking, and
sight-seeing. The interior lakes offer canoeing,
fishing and camping opportunities, while local
trails offer hiking and biking along the waters
edge. For something less strenuous, try a little
sightseeing at nearby Quoddy Point Light,
the easternmost lighthouse in the U.S., or visit
Campobello in Canada, where FDR spent his
summers. Our three scenic byways are perfect
for cruising and exploring the region. Whether
you prefer the peaceful lapping of the waves along
the shoreline, the activities at small town festivals
and fairs or the thrill of seeing nature up close,
Down East and Acadia offers that and more!
