Maine day trips

Day trips in Maine

Summer is one of the best times to get out and experience the best that Maine has to offer. Take the day with your sweetie and enjoy our beautiful state! Here are our top three picks for day trips in Maine.

Visit the southern coast

Maine’s coastline is rocky, powerful, and beautiful. Take a day trip to check out the scenery, visit some of our state’s iconic lighthouses, and shop in the charming towns along the way.

Whale watching

Maine’s whaling history is a huge chapter in America’s past, and a bloody one. The whales are making a comeback, and you can head out to hunt them down again – but this time, for snapshots and the experience of a lifetime.

Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge

Visit the wildlife preserve dedicated to naturalist Rachel Carlson, whose book Silent Spring kicked off the modern ecological movement, and sounded the alarm about ecological disaster long before most people even realized it was a problem.
