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!
  • Lived in Maine my whole life, probably my favorite 'coastal' campground thus far is Pemaquid Point. We lucked out and got one of the few 'full hookup' sites. Really relaxing campground and there are nice beaches, kayaking, shops, markets, a lighthouse and great lobster all within a few minute drive. I'd suggest the South Bristol Fisherman's Co-Op for the lobster. You can eat them there or better yet, bring them back to your site and cook them yourself :) If you want the full shopping experience Freeport is only a 1 hour drive. You could spend an entire day there and still not see all the shops.

    We are renting a cabin there at Hutchins Mountain Cabins on Rt 3 from 8/30-9/1. Will you be there then? Have you been there before? It is like heaven on Earth in the summer up there!
