If you're anything like me, you dream about ocean breezes and quiet, cozy escapes with someone special. I’ve found that romantic summer getaways in Maine offer the perfect mix—seaside charm, small-town vibes, and those peaceful moments that feel just right for two.

Highlights:

  • I loved strolling hand-in-hand through the charming coastal village of Camden—you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard.
  • If you’re up for an early start, I suggest you watch the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. I promise it’s magical.
  • You can’t visit Maine without treating yourself to fresh lobster—I always choose a table with an ocean view in Bar Harbor.
  • When I wanted something extra romantic, I booked a stay in a cozy inn in Kennebunkport. You should definitely try it—it’s intimate and beautiful.
  • Take your time exploring lighthouses and hidden beaches along the MidCoast. I found some of the best memories happened in the quietest places.
