Fly into Portland, then plan to go directly to Kennebunk area for 2 nights, back to Portland for 3 nights, then up coast visiting Freeport, Booth Bay, Georgetown, Camden/Rockport area, then Bar Harbor /SW ...
Farther afield, the Langlais Sculpture Preserve in Cushing, Maine, offers a quarter-mile, ADA-accessible path and a self-guided tour of a dozen sculptures by local artist Bernard Langlais. When it’s time to eat again, the atmosphere at Waterfront can’t be beat. Order a cup of the clam chowder or a “lazy lobster.”.
Speed limits are 25-65 MPH (about 40-105 KPH). For its first 50.8 miles (81.8 km) from Kittery to Portland, where businesses and tourist hotspots line its route, it’s 4 lanes wide. Driving farther northeast along the coast, it’s mostly 2 lanes wide and generally prettier and far more rural.
We drove from Portland up to Acadia National Park on Route 1 and back and thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. There are SO many things to do and see everyone would find things to explore and enjoy. The Maine coast is beautiful, the multiple small towns along the way are so interesting, beautiful and inviting.
May 22, 2024, 5:37 PM. Parking in Portland is a mixed bag. There is on-street parking, some of which is pay at a kiosk, some of which still has meters and some in the more residential neighborhoods are free (but hard to find). There are city-owned garages which charge $3/hour with a max of $28 for the day.

7. Re: Coastal maine 8 night intinerary- Portland to Lubec. 9 years ago. You don't need to take 77 to Portland if you stay in that area of SoPo. Just hop on I-295 to get there in minutes without traffic or stop lights. Getting from Main Street to Casco Bay Lines won't take more than 10 minutes that way.
Answer 1 of 10: Thanks to this forum, our eight day August trip focused on Acadia is shaping up well. I would love some final quick input. I had planned on 1 nite near Bath, 2 near Camden, 4 in Bar Harbor, then a straight drive back to Portland.
