Maine's MidCoast
While just a short drive up the coast
(along US-1 or I-295) from Portland,
Maine's MidCoast is a sparkling string
of pearls connecting visitors to our
coastal, maritime and seafaring past.
This region is peppered with some
of Maine's most visited and adored
towns, beaches and harbors. At about
100 miles from stem-to-stern (following
the region's main artery US-1
from Brunswick to the Penobscot
Bridge Observatory) but constituting
over 1,500 miles of rough and beautiful
coastline, the MidCoast offers
untold activities for tourists and families
alike, including the dozens of side
trips 'down the point' and those with
countless adventures they offer. This is
the classic American tourist ride - you
might wander all day and not travel
far. Maine's MidCoast gives meaning
to the journey being an important part
of the trip. Take heed: In summer US-1
can sometimes slow up travelers' pace
in spots. Drivers without a destination
in mind should consider taking the trip
