Maine Tourist Attractions

Schooners at SeaWhat do you like to do while on vacation? My guess is that somewhere amongst the many Maine tourist attractions you will discover fun things to do that will excite you and your family.

From historical homes and monuments, to
art galleries, botanical gardens, amusement parks - museums displaying fine art, antique automobiles, maritime paraphernalia, and railway cars - to sightseeing tours by land and sea, fairs and festivals, and notable shopping venues, you will find a wide range of tourist activities in Maine.

And, because of its geographical diversity, Maine offers many opportunities for outdoor recreational and sports activities...

...hiking, skiing, camping, boating, snowmobiling, whitewater rafting, fishing and hunting are plentiful.

As are the highlights of many Maine coastal vacations - the nearly one hundred year old lighthouses, whale watching and windjammer cruises, endless sandy beaches, tiny secluded seaside coves AND the extraordinary Maine lobster!

Maine Attractions

This listing of Maine tourist attractions only skims the surface of "things to do in Maine". As you travel, keep your eyes open...

...there are dozens of other hidden treasures in every city, town and village throughout the state.

When making your vacation plans be sure to take into consideration that many Maine tourist attractions are only open seasonally, or have limited hours in their off-season.
