Maine

Maine's coastline looks short on a map and takes an entire vacation to actually drive, because it folds in and out around a thousand small harbors.

Portland has turned into a real food city, with more good restaurants per block than a lot of places twice its size. Further up the coast, Acadia National Park has the only place on the East Coast where you can watch the sunrise from a mountaintop for part of the year.

Lobster rolls are sold everywhere and taste different depending on whether the shack puts mayonnaise on them or just butter.
