Maine is known for its beautiful coastlines, quaint small towns, and, of course, delicious fresh lobster. There is plenty to see and do for tourists in the state. In the summer, visitors can hike in Acadia National Park or cruise on the open waters in a Maine windjammer sailboat. In the winter, Maine’s mountains are great for skiing and other snow activities.
