HILARY NANGLE

Robinson Point Light on Isle au Haut.
Tipping the northeastern corner of the United States and comprising 33,215 square miles, Maine boldly promotes itself as The Way Life Should Be. Not to say that everythings perfect, mind you, but Maine is an extraordinarily special place, where the air is clear, the water is pure, and the traditional traits of honesty, thrift, and ruggedness remain refreshingly appealing.
From the glacier-scoured beaches of the Southern Coast, around spruce-studded islands and Acadias granite shores, to the craggy cliffs Down East, Maines coastline follows a zigzagging route that would measure about 5,500 miles if you stretched it taut. Eons ago, glaciers came crushing down from the north, squeezing Maines coastline into a wrinkled landscape with countless bony fingers reaching toward the sea. Each peninsula has its own character, as does each island, each city, and each village.
Maines inland is just as exciting, with 6,000 lakes and ponds, 32,000 miles of rivers, and 17 million acres of timberlands for hiking and biking, skiing and snowmobiling, paddling and fishing. This is where intrepid Appalachian Trail hikers finish at the summit of Katahdin, Maines tallest peak, and determined canoeists can spend a week on the Allagash, a watery lifeline through the wilderness.

Pair natural highs with human pleasures: fine and quirky museums, theatrical and musical performances, artisan studios and art galleries, designer boutiques and specialty shops.
And then theres the food. Lobster, of course, is king, but dont overlook luscious wild blueberries, sweet Maine maple syrup, delicious farmstead cheeses, and the homemade pies and preserves sold at roadside stands and farmers markets. Access to this bounty is why talented chefs are drawn here. But balance a fancy meal with a beanhole or chowdah suppah, where you can share a table with locals, the umpteenth-generation Mainers who add character to this special place: the fishermen who make their living from the bone-chilling waters, the lumbermen who know every nook and cranny of the forested wilderness, the farmers who tame the rocky fields. If youre lucky, you might hear a genuine Maine accent (hint: Ayuh isnt so much a word as a sharp two-part intake of breath).
A student of Maine-born author Mary Ellen Chase once mused, Maine is different from all other states, isnt it? I suppose thats because God never quite finished it. Maine may be a work in progress, but its certainly a masterpiece.

Sandy beaches, occasionally punctuated by rocky headlands, are the jewels of the Southern Coast, but this region also oozes history. Colonial roots are preserved in historical buildings while the arts legacy is honored in museums and galleries. Route 1s endless shopping opportunities provide plenty of distraction.
Brine-scented air, cackling gulls, lobster boats, and fishing trawlers give notice that this is a seafaring town, but its also Maines cultural center, rich in museums and performing-arts centers, and earns national kudos as a culinary destination.
No region of Maine has more lobster shacks or as deep a maritime history as this peninsula-rich stretch of coastline, dotted with traditional fishing villages and once-thriving ports and shipbuilding centers. The Maine Maritime Museum preserves that heritage; Bath Iron Works continues it; and the brick townscapes, renovated mills, and plentiful shops brimming with maritime treasure keep it alive.
Island-studded Penobscot Bay is the Maine coast in microcosm. Boat-filled harbors, sandy pocket beaches, soaring spruce trees, and lighthouses pepper the shoreline. Gentrifying fishing villages neighbor cosmopolitan towns. Antiques shops, art galleries, artisans studios, and museums are as plentiful as lobster boats.
Water, water everywhere. Around nearly every bend is a river or stream, a cove, a boat-filled harbor, or a serene pond. This inspired and inspiring landscape hosts historic homes and forts, classic fishing villages, and a remote section of Acadia National Park. Locals, a blend of summer rusticators, genteel retirees, artists, and back-to-the-landers, have worked diligently to preserve not only the landscape but also the heritage.
