Maine

“Vacationland”

Has been a popular destination ever since railroads began delivering wealthy wanderers to its scenic coast. Now, exploring Maine happens mostly in a car. 
Maine’s best eats are blueberries, lobster rolls, potatoes, craft beer, shellfish and fresh fish. Get to know the US’s easternmost state for its lighthouses, rocky coastline, natural beauty, and fall foliage. If you go, miss the harsh winters, but don’t miss eating at a lobster pound.
