The Best Alternative Accommodations in Maine

Windjammers: Maine has the East Coast's largest fleet of windjammers, providing adventures on the high seas throughout the summer. You can explore offshore islands and inland estuaries, and learn how sailors once made the best of the wind. Accommodations in private cabins are typically spartan, but you'll spend most of your time on deck luxuriating in the stunning views.

Maine Island Trail: About 70 remote islands along the Maine coast are open to camping, and from these remote, salty wildernesses, you'll see some of the best sunsets imaginable.
