Maine’s historic southern coast holds a wealth of natural wonders, from islands and beaches to clear skies and small towns. This region incorporated, as part of the Province of Maine, in 1636, just 16 years after the Mayflower’s landing. The oldest courthouse records in the country were kept here. Tour the historic towns or wander the beaches, breathing in the cool coastal breeze. See the Tupelo gum trees and white sand beaches of Ferry Beach, or head for Pownal for a day of outdoor adventures.
