Camden, Maine: 19th-Century Architecture and Scenic Vistas on Penobscot Bay
Fondly nicknamed the “Jewel of the Maine Coast,” Camden sits on the shores of picturesque Penobscot Bay in southeast Maine, drawing visitors for its charming oceanfront location. Fodor’s says the area is “one of Maine’s most dramatically beautiful regions” for its rocky coastline. During spring and summer, the harbor fills with yachts, sailboats, and kayaks.
To the west of Camden Harbor lies Camden Hills State Park, where hiking trails skirt the mountainside, leading up to an observation tower with sweeping views of the harbor. When it's colder, visitors stick to exploring downtown Camden. Here, 19th-century buildings now house boutiques, art galleries, antique shops, and mom-and-pop eateries serving Maine’s famous lobster.
