In early October, Maine's weather transitions into full fall mode, with coastal areas experiencing mild temperatures ranging from the high 50s to low 60s°F during the day and dropping to the upper 30s to low 40s°F at night, while inland sees slightly cooler evenings, setting a perfect stage for the state's spectacular fall foliage​​​​​​.

Our contemporary New England cuisine has been rooted in the local and seasonal long before those were trendy. At our AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five Star restaurant, we showcase incredible ingredients sourced through specially cultivated relationships with the farmers, fishermen and foragers of coastal Maine and just beyond for beautifully-presented, always inspired dishes that encapsulate the very essence of our spectacular scenset.

COZY, FRIENDLY and FUN! The Waterfront balances the basics with the innovative styles of cooking, bringing goodness to your table. We buy from area fishermen and farmers, hire local kids, and stay open year round as a place for the winter hardy to gather by the fireplace. Visit us and experience a restaurant that has been part of the mid coast for forty-five years!

Artists from around the country are drawn to Camden for the scenic views of Penobscot Bay from Camden Hills State Park. Inspired by this and other beautiful vistas along MidCoast Maine, photographers, painters, sculptors, and others create an assortment of handcrafted items that rival those from other regions of the country. Whether you’re looking for a souvenir of your visit or a gift for any occasion, you’ll find something perfect while shopping in Camden Maine.

Camden Falls Gallery showcases fine art, furniture, and sculpture from both emerging and established Maine and New England artists. Rotating shows celebrate architecture, landscape, traditional watercraft and coastal Maine through all its glorious seasons.

Board the HERON, a famous 65′ John Alden design that’s family built, owned and operated.

Two captains, both holding 100 ton USCG licenses, have sailed extensively in the Gulf of Maine, trans-Atlantic and the Caribbean, sailing skiffs, schooners and square riggers. They have been conducting tours for over two decades and charters in the Caribbean for the past 13 years.

The Schooner HERON is featured as “Sanderson’s Yacht” in the Johnny Depp film “The Rum Diary” based on the book by Hunter S. Thompson.

18 Central is exactly the kind of eatery that should thrive on the midcoast: it's unpretentious and focuses on core ingredients beloved by most. Perched above Rockport harbor this comfortable space feels like it’s been there forever, with worn wooden floors, a stamped tin ceiling, and schoolhouse pendant lights. Much of chef-owner's menu is prepared on a wood-grill in the open kitchen, including tomatoes for the cocktail sauce offered with selections from the raw bar. An exception is the excellent fried chicken, served with collard greens and grits.
