Let one of the many windjammers or schooners sail you through Penobscot Bay, board ferries that frequent Monhegan Island, Isleboro, Matinicus, and Vinalhaven. Nearby mountains offer hiking at all levels. Capture the history of the coast at the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse and Owl's Head Lighthouse. Enjoy local cuisine at its best: lobsters and steamers at a picnic table on the dock at Spruce Head, blueberry muffins and locally roasted coffee in downtown Rockland, and a James Beard award-winning lobster roll just a 10 minute walk from your front door. Kayak with a guide to outer islands for spectacular birdwatching and eye-level aquaintance with our harbor seals. The Owls Head Transportation Museum, Farnsworth Museum, and Wyeth Center compete with the Blues Festival and Lobster Festival for entertainment all summer long. Accomplished local craftspeople and artists including potters, furniture makers, fiber artists, book wrights, and painters add to the energy of this beautiful coast.
