Rockland Maine isn’t just  one of the coolest small towns in America  but also one of the country’s top small “foodie” towns and the top adventure  town in Maine  also.  Whether you are visiting the  Midcoast Maine area for a romantic getaway, vacation or business; for a 2-night  stay or for a week; and no matter the season, you can do as little or as much of the endless activities offered  in the area and experience why this small  coastal town has received all of these accolades.

Rockland was named one of the “Top Ten Coolest Small Towns in  America” in 2009 by Budget Travel in recognition of Rockland’s thriving  downtown area with its art galleries, historic Strand Theater, restaurants and  world class museums all set next to a working harbor known for its lobster and  commercial fishing. It represents the authentic Maine coast experience without the pretense.   The Budget Travel article quoted Rockland  as a town with “sophistication mixed with saltiness”.

In recent years the Camden/Rockland area has developed into  a great area for foodies!   There are over 18 restaurants in walking  distance of the premiere Rockland ME  Bed and Breakfast from the award winning Primo Restaurant to lobster shacks  on the wharf and everything in between. It is not only the self-proclaimed  lobster capital of the world but also where the lobster roll was actually  invented.  The Rockland/Camden area of  Midcoast Maine has restaurants offering Thai, American, Japanese, Sushi, Italian,  Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines.  The area features an organic coffee roaster,  an olive oil tasting room, several artisan cheese makers, local chocolatiers,  and five wineries to round out the food scene.

And oh the adventures you can have here in Rockland Maine.  Although the summer season boasts the most  choice in adventures, there are outdoor activities available all year  round.  In the winter months you can snowshoe,  snowboard, cross country ski, skate, ice fish, bird watch, winter hike or downhill  ski at the only ski area in the US where you can ski and see the Atlantic Ocean.  Late spring, summer and fall add island  hopping, windjammer cruises, golfing, tennis, lobster cruise adventures, wine  tour, kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming, rock climbing, salt-water or fresh  water fishing, canoeing, lighthouse cruises, nature cruises or just enjoying  the beach to the list of area activities.  This is why the National Geographic Traveler has named Rockland  Maine one of its top 100 adventure towns in  the US.
