Southern Coast
At the southernmost tip of Maine, the southern coast region is an easy day trip from Boston and offers visitors year-round amenities and attractions. Hidden among the outlet shopping malls of Kittery and the summer beach colonies of Ogunquit, York and Wells is an intricate network of Maine history and culture. more about the Southern CoastGreater Portland
Portland is a small city that mixes urban sophistication with home-town friendliness. On the southern Maine coast, only a two-hour drive from Boston, Portland lies at the mouth of Casco Bay. With a population of about 65,000, this coastal hub has more than its share of interesting shops and great restaurants. Museums and theaters tend to be small and friendly. Art galleries and musical performances reflect the area's wealth of creativity. more about Greater PortlandWestern Lakes & Mountains
This region shouts "ski country" to most visitors, with Maine's two largest ski mountains and a ring of smaller ones attracting winter adventure-seekers. Recreational opportunites abound on the lakes. Crowds from southern Maine cities zip over to Sebago Lake, while the more remote Rangeley Lakes give off the real sense of wilderness. more about theWestern Lakes & Mountains
Midcoast Region
The long and narrow peninsulas of the Midcoast region, which stretch from the Brunswick/Bath area through to the Camden/Rockland area, are often described as gnarly fingers that stretch into the sea. Slow drives down the twisting roads on these peninsulas offer glimpses of snug harbors, historic homes, the rare sandy beach, island communities, fishing villages and summer camps. more about the Midcoast RegionKennebec Region
At first, you may think this region is merely sitting in between the drama of Katahdin and the allure of the ocean. But the Kennebec region, defined by the Kennebec and Moose River valleys, is one of Maine's most picturesque, with mirror-flat lakes, swaths of woodlands and tumultuous rivers. Visitors come for foliage, lakeside vacations, whitewater rafting and snowmobiling. more about the Kennebec RegionKatahdin/Moosehead Region
The jagged Knife Edge atop Mount Katahdin dominates this region. Katahdin is not just the highest point in Maine. It also marks one end of the Appalachian Trail and is the central point of Baxter State Park, a 202,064 acre park established in 1930 to preserve a slice of Maine's wilderness for generations. Combined with the Moosehead Lake area, this region offers much in terms of scenery and recreation. more about Katahdin/MooseheadDowneast/Acadia Region
The jewel of this region is Maine's only National Park: Acadia. From Penobscot Bay, Downeast, around the eastern nose of Maine and up along the Canadian border, the scenery is wild, rocky and dramatic. The farther inland you go, the more wilderness you'll encounter. In this region, get a taste of the outdoors, from the gentle recreation in Acadia to the rugged fishing and canoeing farther Downeast. more about Downeast/AcadiaAroostook Region
Tourism has yet to take Aroostook County by storm, and there are plenty of outdoorsmen and women who'd like to keep it that way so they can fish, hike and canoe with only moose for company. Aroostook, or "The County," as it's often referred to, is best known for two things: recreation and potatoes. more about Aroostook CountyMaine Event: Sharing an ice time on Long Lake

If you're just beginning your exploration of Maine, its southern coastline is a great place to start. Many of the towns here offer a nostalgic retreat into the past, as resort villages like Ogunquit have carefully preserved their architecture and historic features like the local trolley alongside the development of luxurious inns, hotels, and timeshares. And while much of Maine's coastline is rough and rocky, the three miles of beach in Ogunquit are composed of soft, white sand and are easily accessible from accommodations like The Falls at Ogunquit, an InnSeason Resort.
