 Up and down Maine's southern coast are quintessential beach communities and 30 miles of dazzling white sand.
Lighthouses dot the shore; luxury resorts and inns share stunning views with beachfront cottages and lobster shacks. And recreation abounds, from swimming,
surfing and sailing, to kayaking, hiking, biking and golf. Bird watchers, art lovers and seafood connoisseurs find many reasons to return, year after
year.
Kittery, Maine's oldest settlement, offers shoppers more than 120 outlets along
Route 1. But don't miss Kittery's historic architecture and quaint pubs.

shopping and outdoor fun. Leave time for the Museums of Old York and the Old
Gaol—the nation's oldest jailhouse—and picturesque Cape Neddick "Nubble" Light.

Jewett House. Try the local wine from Salmon Falls Winery or hike in Vaughn Woods
