Visiting Coastal Maine....

Hilary Nangle's enthusiastic guide to "Coastal Maine" captures the essence of what is still the relatively unspoiled and beautiful coastline between Kittery and Eastport. The roots of settlement in Maine may go back to the earliest days of European exploration in North America, but the coastline itself is the star here. From the expansive beaches south of Portland to the shopping mecca of L.L. Bean in Freeport to the magnificently rocky Acadia National Park to the remote towns and villages by the Canadian border, Coastal Maine has much to entertain. This Moon Handback is a useful mixture of maps, photographs, travel narrative and practical information. Nangle divides the coastline into seven segments: The Southern Coast, Greater Portland, Mid-Coast Region, Penobscot Bay, Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle, Acadia Region, and the Down East Coast. In each segment, she explores the tourist highlights, entertainment possibilities, shopping, accomodations, and dining. Sidebar items address unusual features such as the tremendous tidal range in Eastern Maine or the unique accent of Downeast Mainers. The guide comes in a compact and easy to use format and includes lists of useful websites for further research. "Moon Handbooks Coastal Maine" is very highly recommended as a planning and traveling resource for those headed for Downeast Maine.

Another Great Book About The Maine Coast

MOON HANDBOOKS COASTAL MAINE is yet another great book about the Maine Coast, with plenty of information about great shopping, dining, and recreational activities to help you look great for your significant other and/or your favorite celebrity. However, there is a flaw- the failure in the section on the Portland area to mention either any independent music stores (Bull Moose Music) or the Maine Mall. Overall, however, this is a wonderful book that anyone with geographical interests will love.

Moon Handbooks Coastal Maine

Don't even think about planning a trip to Maine without first reading the Moon's Handbook Coastal Maine. It is the best travel guide. The author offers lots of great information.

excellent helper

The Monn Handbook Coastal Maine was invaluable in planning and during our Sept. trip to ME. We used the info to make reservations at motels and restaurants and we were never dissapointed. It also included excellent craft shop recommendations and places to see that were really off the beaten path. I would recommend this guide book for anyone planning a trip to ME.

Guide to the Beautiful Maine Coast

After spending last summer in southern Maine, I was delighted to see this book. It provides information such as travel strategies and touring itineraries. The author lives on the mid-coast, but grew up around Portland. You know the format for these handbooks means you get solid information on an area. I'm looking forward to another summer in Maine where I'll see so much more with this handbook to guide me.
