BELFAST
WHERE COMMUNITY AND CREATIVITY MEET
Belfast is a rare combination of small seaside village with an active social and cultural scene. Authentically itself, Belfast takes pride in supporting the inspiration of local merchants, creatives, and outdoor recreation initiatives. Whether it’s locating fresh Maine blueberries, finding fun local events, or where to hunt for the best sea glass the residents of Belfast are always welcoming and ready to help.
Visitors can take a walk through the history of Belfast with its Museum in the Streets or explore the Belfast Rail Trail. The trail follows the route of a passenger and freight line that operated from 1871-2007, and if you’re lucky, even still makes an appearance on weekends throughout the summer. Whether outdoor recreation, arts, shopping, or historic gems interest you, Belfast is sure not to disappoint.
