Detailed State of Maine Map

Maine Sign Since most Maine vacations include a trip to the Maine coast, chances are you'll find yourself traveling along either Interstate 95, or Coastal Route 1.

Or both, depending on where you are headed, and how quickly you want to arrive at your destination.

Entering Maine from the south...

...you can travel through the southern Maine and Casco Bay areas on I-95 or Coastal Route 1, which run parallel to each other passing either through, or near, Kittery, York Beach, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, Portland, Yarmouth, Freeport and Brunswick.

But, Brunswick, in Maine's midcoast, is where you will need to make a decision, as this is where I-95 and Coastal Route 1 part ways. If your destination is inland, the choice is simple.

However, if you are heading to the Maine coast...

Coastal Route 1 travels northeasterly. It offers dozens of opportunities to explore scenic peninsulas extending out to the Atlantic Ocean and eventually takes you to the Acadia National Park region, and "Downeast". On your way there you will travel by way of Bath, Wiscasset, Waldoboro, Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Belfast and Ellsworth.

On the other hand, in Brunswick...

Bypass what is often seasonally heavy traffic on the more scenic Coastal Route, by staying on I-95 and heading toward Augusta, Waterville, Newport and Bangor. Just pick your exit and head east on what will hopefully be a less traveled route.

Is your destination Bar Harbor or the Acadia National Park?

If so, you will probably want to take a look at this enlarged version of the Mount Desert Island, Isle au Haut, and the Schoodic Point areas.
