Living in Maine

There’s a reason “the way life should be” has been Maine’s slogan for decades. That’s because it’s true.

And there’s so much more to living here than lobster rolls and lighthouses (although we have plenty of both!).

But we also have an abundance of authentic people, year-round outdoor activities, a thriving restaurant scene, breathtaking scenery, vibrant cultural activities, and a definitely laid-back vibe.
