As the easternmost state in the New England region, Maine has a scenic landscape straddling both the bountiful Atlantic Ocean and the Canadian border. Its spectacular jagged coastlines and a sea-forged landscape of beaches and islands tempt travellers with an inherently unique appeal. The diverse coastline, adorned with historic lighthouses and charming fishing villages, provides a picturesque backdrop for any holiday. A notable fact is that the state's easternmost point, West Quoddy Head in Lubec, holds the title for the easternmost point in the contiguous 48 states.

The historically rich state, inhabited since ancient times by the Wabanaki Confederacy, saw its first European settlement in 1604. Once a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Maine's transition to statehood in 1820 is a captivating tale in itself. The resplendent capital Augusta and the cosmopolitan city of Portland are among the top spots to visit.

A sojourn to Maine is incomplete without exploring its vast natural landscapes. Think of Moosehead Lake's awe-inspiring body of water, Mount Katahdin's towering peaks, and the Appalachian Trail's northern terminus. A testament to Maine's distinct title as the "Pine Tree State" is its impressive forest cover comprising over 80% of its total land.

Undeniably, Maine's allure lies in its picturesque waterways, wild lowbush blueberries, and unrivalled seafood cuisine. Equally inviting are the famed New England fall foliage displays and a plethora of winter sports, making Maine a destination for all seasons.

As autumn takes hold, the landscape transforms into an iconic New England spectacle, cloaked in a riot of vibrant colours. This makes for an excellent time to witness the state's resplendent fall foliage.
