The Scenic Route North: Southern Maine Border to Glenmoor by the Sea

Every great vacation starts with a memorable journey. As you cross the Piscataqua River Bridge and enter the Pine Tree State, the drive along Route 1 toward Mid-coast Maine offers a perfect introduction to the rocky shores and local flavors that define our region.

Instead of rushing up the interstate, take the time to enjoy these relaxing and scenic stops on your way to Glenmoor by the Sea.

Coastal classics and local shopping

Your first stop should be the historic town of Kittery. While many are drawn to the Kittery Premium Outlets, we recommend visiting the Kittery Trading Post, a local staple for outdoor gear since 1938. If you have a sweet tooth, head to The Goldenrod in York to watch their famous saltwater taffy being pulled by hand.

Maritime history and iconic bites

As you continue north, the "City of Ships," Bath, offers a fascinating look at our state's seafaring heritage at the Maine Maritime Museum. Just a short drive further, you will encounter the "Prettiest Village in Maine," Wiscasset. No road trip is complete without stopping at Red's Eats for a world-famous lobster roll, though be prepared for a legendary line.

Arriving at your oceanfront home

As the scenery shifts to the rolling hills and sapphire waters of Penobscot Bay, you'll know you're close. Once you pull into our spectacular oceanfront setting, our gracious and welcoming staff will be ready to help you settle into one of our guest rooms, suites, and cottages.
