- Maine is known for its beautiful landscapes, pristine coastline, iconic lighthouses, and scenic beaches, not to mention amazing seafood.
- Maine is full of state and national parks, outdoor recreation, agriculture, and hunting, but many of the cities within the state are bustling with people and have thriving downtowns and vibrant nightlife.
- Maine is only 320 miles long by 210 miles wide, which means that no matter where someone is in the state, they can easily take a day trip to many different places that aren’t too far away since every town is within just a few hours' drive of each other.
