Given Maine’s coastline is technically larger than that of California’s, four nights and five days road tripping down east barely allows you to scratch the surface—as I discovered on a recent visit. Vacationland’s craggy shoreline is made up of beaches, bays, peninsulas and inlets and a network of more than 4,600 islands, so the opportunities to be on the water are indeed endless. The landscape of forests and farmlands is lush and green. The charming and hospitable small towns exude that classic New England vibe and serve up fresh-as-it-gets seafood. Hello, lobster rolls and oysters!
