Bar Harbor Lobster Bake
Steve and Ann Cough have been preparing traditional down east lobster bakes with an emphasis on quality food and service since 1979 -
"lobster-bakes" are what they specialize in! Your seafood, potato and corn-on-the-cob are expertly steamed together in large stainless steel cookers right where you can watch and ask questions about the cooking process, lobster fishing or anything comes to mind.

Substitute for the lobster is either Sirloin or baked haddock or Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Camden Hills State Park and Mt.Battie
One of Maine's 26 state parks, Camden Hills' dominant feature is Mt. Battie and the spectacular views provided from the top. This picture stop provides you with a panoramic view of Maine's largest bay, Penobscot, and the resort community of Camden below with its fleet of windjammers!


Portland Harbor Lighthouse Cruise
Enjoy this narrated 90 minute scenic cruise through the busy harbor and innermost islands to see lighthouses, forts, lobster boats, seals, and seabirds. Four lighthouses can be seen up close with as many as seven in view during the cruise, including a close-up view of Maine's oldest and most photographed lighthouse, Portland Head Lighthouse.

Mt. Desert Oceanarium & Lobster Hatchery
The Bar Harbor location of the Mt. Desert Oceanarium features the Maine Lobster Museum, the Lobster Hatchery and the Thomas Bay Marsh Walk. Guides will teach us about lobsters and lobster fishing and help us to explore the "hows and whys" of a lobster hatchery.

L.L. Bean Flagship Store
L.L. Bean has been a fixture on Main Street in Freeport, Maine, since it opened shop there 95 years ago in 1917. The locks on the doors were removed in 1951 when the decision was made to keep the store open 24 hours a day year-round. Today, 3.5 million shoppers visit L.L. Bean in Freeport each year.
