🌲 Tips for Visiting Maine

From the locals who live here year-round.

🦟

Bug Season is Real

May and June bring black flies. Bring repellent or wait until July.

🦞

Order Lobster at a Shack

Skip the fancy restaurant. The best lobster comes from a roadside shack.

🚗

Gas Up Before Going North

Gas stations get sparse fast once you leave the coast or major highways.

📶

Cell Service Drops Off

Download offline maps before heading to western or northern Maine.

🌅

Cadillac Mountain at Sunrise

First place in the US to see the sunrise. Worth the 4am wake-up.

💳

Cash is Still King

Many farm stands, lobster shacks, and small shops are cash only.
