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. Camden Maine is the storybook New England town everyone dreams about, beloved for its close-knit community, unique local shops, restaurants, and panoramic views of Penobscot Bay. Although Maine is best known for summer holidays spent kayaking, hiking, and eating gourmet ice cream, this captivating destination has an ever-changing seasonal beauty. “Where the mountains meet the sea,” as they say, defines a historic coastal town made famous for its stunning peninsulas, lush trees, and friendly locals.
Camden is quintessentially New England both romantic, and adventurous where visions of lighthouses, a rugged coastline, and an expansive network of trails offers active adults the outdoor experience of a lifetime. Whether it’s taking a day trip on a schooner through the pristine waters of Penobscot Bay, hiking and mountain biking through Camden Hills State Park, or heading to the Camden Snow Bowl to board a toboggan, abundant outdoor recreation goes from spring to mid-winter. Nature lovers can go all out on a cliff diving venture, or enjoy a picturesque picnic in Barrett’s Cove Park, but however one chooses to immerse themselves in the Maine lifestyle, the magic is in the landscape. 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.
