Things to Do in Midcoast Maine

Not ready to leave? Keep the celebration going! Thomaston is nestled among some of the most charming coastal towns in Maine. Rockland, Rockport, Camden, and their peninsulas! There are plentiful things to do in Midcoast Maine! Stop for a lobster roll, ice cream cone, art galleries / shops, and lighthouses galore. As a born and raised “Midcoaster”, below are some of my favorite spots.
