Wow, several months is great. All those jagged peninsulas have such fun things to see.
I liked driving down to Pemaquid Point lighthouse, and on the way back up, loved Round Pond which has a lobster cooperative.
Enjoyed seeing Owls Head where the lighthouse dog spot is buried. Not far from there is the house Andrew Wyeth painted as Christina's World. It's a museum with info about the Olsons who lived there.
Pretty town of Camden where movie Peyton Place was filmed. You can drive up to the top of Mount Battie in the state park there, which has a nice campground.
Wild Blueberry land (dome shaped purple building) down east, with delicious pastries. (On the way up to Lubec to cross bridge and border to Campobello.) On the US side, you can see West Quoddy Lighthouse. And on Campbello, the East Quoddy Lighthouse. And of course the Roosevelt park and summer home.
If you stay on Campobello, there's a nice Provincial Park with campground. From the island, you could go on to Deer Island by ferry to see the Old Sow...one of the largest whirlpools in the world - a campground overlooks it.
