3. Downeast Maine


Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can’t get away from lobsters in Maine. From Bar Harbor north to the New Brunswick border, the region known locally as “Downeast” Maine has more flavour than a butter-rich lobster. Te island of Petite Manan outside of Jonesport is home to the only puffin colony in the Lower 48 and the camping and touring options along the coast are as pristine and primitive as the East Coast has to offer. Walk into just about any restaurant or store and you are bound to catch the twang of the local tongue. Tey will help you locate the best places along the coast assuming you have a good nautical “chauurt.”
