When you’re sitting beneath a sapphire blue sky looking out upon a sparkling boat studded harbor, you know you’ve found a special place.

Named one of Maine’s top travel destinations by Fodor’s for its postcard-worthy scenery, and popularity with tourists, Camden draws visitors to its maritime charms all year long.

Battie, to getting lost in a book at the historic Camden Public Library, a day spent in this intimate city can be filled with adventure, or savored slowly.
