Lincolnville itself is a tranquil seaside town, well worth exploring on foot. You’ll find some wonderful places to savour fresh seafood — including some famed Maine lobster — as well as appealing independent boutiques and historic homes. The nearby lighthouses of Marshall Point, Owl’s Head and Pemaquid Point are brilliant for those looking to get a sense of Maine’s past. If you’re eager to simply unwind, pick a spot on the sands of Lincolnville Beach, just walking distance from one of our favourite inns.
Head out on the water for days of sailing and kayaking, or cruise Penobscot Bay on an old-school schooner with the kids. There’s fantastic fishing on nearby Lake Megunticook, as well as myriad cycling and trekking trails in Acadia National Park or along the coast. Spot bears, birds and moose with a wildlife guide, climb Mount Battie in Camden Hills State Park, or take a trip to the artist colony on Monhegan Island. The winter months are quiet, good for cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing and cosying up by a roaring fire.
Venture to Rockland or Camden for great galleries, museums and eateries, before returning to one of the best places to stay in Lincolnville, to relax in style.
