Day 1: Journey to Southern Maine's Beaches

On Thursday, 5/24/07, we loaded up the car for the drive from NJ to Southern Maine. We arrived at the Hampton Suites in  early afternoon and checked in.

After stowing our things in our HUGE two room suite, we drove over to the Perkin's Cove area and walked the Marginal Way...a scenic walking path along the rocky shoreline. We explored some tidepools, took lots of photos and then sipped a cocktail on the patio of the Oarweed which overlooks the walk and the ocean. After wandering around the quaint village of Perkins Cove for a bit, we decided to have dinner at Barnacle Bill's restaurant...a lobster pound type of restaurant. One of the waitresses took a lobster out of the tank for our 5 year old to see up close.

Back at the hotel, we enjoyed the indoor pool and jacuzzi (the weather may have been warm enough for the beach, but the ocean temps up there are only about 50 degrees) and then called it a night.

I live in Portland,Me. Lots of people set out for old Orchard Beach, but,remember that Maine is so much more when it comes to natural beauty,scenic, and history. Take time to prepare for a great rewarding trip and then, good memories will follow !

A few years ago we visited Maine. If you like trains make sure you stop at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME. It takes about 1/2 day and is run by very knowledgeable guides. It is the oldest and largest electric railway museum in the world that started in 1939.

Wow, what an amazing trip. I live in NJ also, and I am planning a trip to this part of Maine in October. My only reservation about this trip is that I will be traveling alone with my 8 year old. Can anyone advise ... are there any parts of the Acadia byway that are un-safe? Any tips on getting my eight year old through the long drive LOL? Thanks!
