Publisher's Synopsis
VERY LITTLE COMPETITION: This is one of only a few books focused on coastal Maine. Fodor's guide offers 352 pages of comprehensive coverage, while Frommer's has only 216 pages in a small-format book. STRONG INCREASE IN TOURISM: Over the past five years the number of overnight visitors to Maine has increased by more than 20%, travel expenditures have grown by 32%, and state revenue from the tourism industry has grown from $8.8 to $9.5 billion. COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE: From culture, history, and the arts to sailing, golfing, hiking, and biking--- this guide has it all. Local writers provide a personal perspective on what to see and do; advice on where to stay and eat; and tips on when to go and how to get there. Chapters include the Southern Coast, Portland, the Mid-Coast, Penobscot Bay, the Blue Hill Peninsula, Acadia National Park, and Way Down East.
