Hoist the jib, batten down the hatches and clear the decks! You’re about to set sail on a cyberjourney to the land of granite cliffs and tall ships, salty air and agricultural fairs, lobster boats and Isle au Haut, breaching whales and seafaring tales.

Welcome to the online version of The Insiders’ Guide^® to Maine’s Mid-Coast, an in-depth exploration of the flora and fauna, art and attractions, water and weather that characterize this storied, paradoxical region — ingrained with a sense of community yet renowned for its citizens’ rugged individuality and self-reliance. Whether you seek the stark beauty of Acadia National Park’s coastal landscape, the elegant panorama of three-masted schooners sailing in Penobscot Bay, a sumptuous seafood supper at a Victorian country inn or an opportunity to spend some time (and money) browsing for antiques, you’ll find here the information, insight and advice you’ll need to negotiate Maine’s Mid-Coast with the confident independence of a Castine sea captain.

Smooth sailing!
