Traveling to Maine
What area in Maine is the best place for lobster, shopping, and relaxing at the ocean? Not necessarily in that order. LOL!

We aren't fans of the Bar Harbor area. We enjoy Boothbay Harbor area. From this area you can get to the Kittery area in a day and go to Bar Harbor in a day and all in between. As far as lobster, no matter where you are in Maine, you will find great places for that. Some are better than others but all are very good.
As far as shopping, depends on what you mean. Boothbay area has the usual trinket stores, upscale womens clothing in Boothbay Harbor and alot of pottery shops in Boothbay. If you are talking about the usual mall type of shops, Portland is about an hour away. Freeport iis about 30 mintues away, with alot of shops. Hope this helps.
