Summer is the season for road trips and exploring. It’s the perfect time to discover new places, foods and attractions with your loved ones. Coastlines, lighthouses and fresh seafood make this state a place you can’t miss. Today, we’re crossing Maine off our bucket list.

Here are our top 5 must sees (and dos) when in Maine:

Lighthouses: Known as The Lighthouse State, Maine currently has 65 lighthouses along its coastline. With each one unique to its location and history, these famous lighthouses are a must see.

Whale Watching: How often do you get the chance to see a whale up close and personal? Maine offers multiple whale watching tours that are both breathtaking and exhilarating for the whole family. June, July, and the beginning of August are the best times to go whale watching.

Traditional Red Lobster: Maine is the largest American producers of lobsters, so you’ll find them served all over the state. Steamed to perfection with butter and corn, this meal is sure to leave your taste buds wanting more once you’re gone.

Acadia National Park: Over 2 million people visit Acadia National Park annually, and for good reason. Its rocky coastline causes dramatic, crashing waves that will take your breath away. You’ll also have the chance to explore the 26 mountains in the park.

A Day at the Beach: At the end of the day, there’s nothing better than lounging in the sand. Maine has many popular beaches that you can visit during your stay. With plenty of shops and food stands in the area, you can spend your day soaking up the sun.

This will be a vacation your family will remember for a lifetime!
