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!

1. State Park Pass
Get a state park pass and drive up the coast while seeing each state park. Camden State Park has beautiful overlook over the town and bay. Some have campgrounds. Some are a bit isolated.
2. Acadia Natl Park and surrounding area
Watch out for the low clearance bridges in park. Check Visitor Center.
3. Lobster at Grocery Stores/Lobster Rolls
Previous poster had it right. Convenient and can find nice picnic areas to enjoy.
Also search for best lobster rolls along the way.
4. Sightseeing
Couple of nice museums along the coast, including Owls Transportation and Farnsworth/Wyeth.
Delorme GPS (now part of Garmin) has its headquarters near Freeport, Maine. Worth a visit to see the huge globe.
Freeport, as others have mentioned, has LLBean, outlets, etc.
5. Overnighting
To save a couple of bucks and/or convenience, several places to overnight including RV lot in Freeport, Maine, various Walmarts along the way, etc. Check allstays.com.
