Towns in the mid-coast region are a hot spot for summer tourism and the year-round home of residents who enjoy the close relationship with the natural world that this area provides.

Dating back to their foundations in colonial times, coastal towns like Boothbay and Damariscotta ME currently provide modern utilities and conveniences within an old fashioned village community setting.
