The charming villages and stunning scenery on the Maine coast make for perfect weekend getaways.
North of Portland, the coastline becomes very rocky and rugged....no more big cities and 4 lane highways.
Instead you will find quaint towns and fishing villages....and gorgeous views.
The best Maine vacation is exploring these "fingers" of land on the central coast.
