Kayaking:
Maine is famous for its water sports, particularly kayaking. As good luck would have it... right outside our door is Hills Beach, a popular launching spot for some of the best kayaking in the area. Shallow waters, access to the Saco river, Lighthouse Islands, basking seals, and rocky coastline all combine to provide fantastic afternoons of leisurely paddling and exploring. Bring your own kayak or rent them locally.
Lobster & Seafood:
Maine is famous for its lobster and seafood. You can get fresh and succulent lobster and seafood at six different locations all within five minutes driving time. So forget Domino's! Lobster is so popular on Hills Beach that you can even have live or cooked lobster delivered right to your door!
Historic Maine, Artistic Maine:
Rainy day? No problem! In Maine there's lots to do and see. For example, Maine was one of the first-settled areas of the country and one of the oldest states in the Union. Maine, like other New England states, is the birthplace of American Antiques. As a result, in Maine there are more antique shops per square mile than in any other state. Whether you're a casual shopper or serious collector, chances are excellent that you'll discover what you're looking for... or you may just stumble upon something that everyone else missed! Other Maine attractions are also rich in history and include museums, military forts, galleries, and town-sponsored cultural events. Not to mention the famous shopping outlets... And all of these are within easy driving distance from our cottage. Are you an artist? The ever-changing tides and sky cast an infinite variety of light and shadow on the natural beauty that surrounds you... guaranteed to inspire and challenge you! Set up your easel right in the yard!
