Maine

Waves crash on rugged, rocky shorelines. Bald eagles soar above rolling forests, craggy islands, and stunning coves and inlets. Charming towns offer great food and beer.

Maine is great place to visit, but think carefully about the season you choose. Winter is cold, snowy, and dark but offers great opportunities for cold-weather sports, though many small businesses in tourist destinations will be closed. Spring is cool, with wildlife starting to venture out. Crowds are lighter, though seasonal businesses may still be closed (many open in April and May). Summer brings gorgeous weather and bigger crowds; June is often the worst month for black flies and mosquitoes. The bugs are better in July and August, but that’s also when the crowds are biggest. Fall in Maine is fantastic: the weather is cooler but still nice, the crowds lessen after Labor Day, and gorgeous fall foliage begins to color the state.
