Maine is well-known for its 5,000 mile coastline—from sandy beaches to lighthouses on granite cliffs. Yes, I know what you are thinking – 5,000 miles – no way! Actually, it has 293 miles if you draw a line from the top to the bottom of the state along the coast. However, the Maine coast isn’t that simple. It’s full of inlets, coves, peninsulas, and jetties (and no I have no idea what the differences are between these things!); that’s what makes it intriguing. It’s like an accordion. If you were to stretch out all of those inlets and peninsulas, you’d actually have nearly 5,000 miles of coast! That’s a lot of coastline for you to find fun things to do in Maine on the water! You’ll likely even find yourself all alone on your little piece of coastline bliss.

Most people come to see the spectacular water views, eat fresh seafood, and maybe do a Windjammer cruise. But that’s normally as far as they venture into the water in Maine. As I planned my Maine road trip, I decided I really wanted to get to ‘know’ Maine’s water beyond the lighthouses and beaches.
