How To Have A Fun Time In Maine’s Coastal Area
The coast of Maine offers fun things to do that suit every taste and budget. If you just want to relax on the beach, York and Ogunquit offer plenty of soft white sand If you want to experience the rocky Maine coast, try visiting Boothbay Harbor or Bar Harbor. There are boat tours that leave from both towns that take visitors out to some of the many islands that dot the coastline, as well as fishing and whale watching tours. Looking for thrills? Funtown USA in Saco offers a variety of exciting rides as well as one of the largest water parks in New England. Palace Playland in nearby Old Orchard Beach offers rides as well. If shopping is more of your thing, be sure to stop at the Kittery Outlets or visit the LL Bean flagship store in Freeport. Or take a drive down Route 1 and stop at one of the many antique and gift shops, or stop at a candy shop for some saltwater taffy and homemade ice cream (Brown’s over by York’s Nubble Light serves up a yummy scoop). And the Clam Shack in Kennebunk and Mike’s in Wells serve up great seafood…because no trip to Maine is complete without visiting a clam shack!
