ROCKLAND
THE ARTS CAPITAL OF MAINE
Located on the clear waters of Penobscot Bay, this small city is increasingly known for its arts scene -- fine art, culinary and performing. It is home to world class museums and galleries, craft breweries, award-winning restaurants and a vibrant music scene. Stroll along the waterfront and watch the fleet of lobster and herring boats come in, satisfy your appetite with a “sea to table” meal, sail on a historic schooner, take a chocolate factory tour, explore the nearly mile long Rockland breakwater and lighthouse, or shop the historic downtown.
Just a few miles north of Rockland is the town of Camden - featuring a bustling downtown, lovely green spaces, and a picturesque harbor. Popular stops include Mount Battie in Camden Hills State Park with a panoramic look at Penobscot Bay and its hundreds of islands.
