A Maine vacation can be a seaside vacation along the state’s rocky and winding coast. Glaciers and the sea have carved so many inlets and harbors that the 228-mile-long coast would be 3,478 miles if it were stretched out straight! Thousands of islands lie off the coast of Maine. Most are uninhabited and are visited only by fishermen. Many have strange names - for example, Wreck Island, the Hypocrites, Junk of Pork, Pope’s Folly, and No Man’s Land.

If you want to explore the coast and islands, you can hire a boat and a captain.

One large and well-known island is Mount Desert Island. Here you’ll find the town of Bar Harbor, a very popular summer resort. If you get tired of the shops and crowds, you can visit Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Somesville, the island’s smaller towns.
