Great Maine Vacations
...the Unofficial Maine Travel Guide

Portland Head LighthouseEvery good travel website needs to start somewhere, somehow. And yes, that is exactly what is going on at Great-Maine-Vacations.com.

As you can see, there is still much to be done here. But please, take a look around. It could be that one of the places to visit in Maine that I have already written about, is just what you are looking for!

I hope you understand, and will bookmark this site, so that the next time you travel to Maine you will stop here first.

Why come back?

You see, I'm a die-hard fan of vacationing in Maine, and know a lot of the best Maine vacation spots and places to visit in Maine. And, since I've called New Hampshire home for over thirty years, I have had many an opportunity to cross the border and explore Maine's treasures myself. Yes, as a true Mainer might say, I am "from away", but I am not from too far away!

...the unofficial Maine Travel Guide?

Sailboat Bar Harbor Yes, that's right - this is the UNOFFICIAL Maine Travel Guide.

I am not connected to the Maine State Government, the Maine Tourism Office, or a local Maine Chamber of Commerce. Nor, am I affiliated with Maine hotels, restaurants, or travel agencies.

I'm just me, writing about great Maine vacations.

So, I thought posing as "... the OFFICIAL Maine Guide", a bit presumptuous.

But, that does NOT mean the information you find here won't be accurate. On the contrary, I go to great lengths to verify each and every entry I make. However, we all know businesses occasionally get shuttered, roads are closed, and fees and schedules change. You get the point...

What can you look forward to when you return? Lots...

Things to do in Maine

...and hotels in Maine.

Maine Clambake What is it that is in the back of everyone's mind as they book their Maine vacations?

The awesome Maine seafood, that can't be beat! In particular, the succulent Maine lobsters. There will a whole section on those. You'll not only be able to find great places to eat lobster in Maine, but also ways to cook lobster when you bring one home.

You certainly won't want to miss the grilled lobster tail recipes! Or, all of the other unique ways to cook lobster.
