Experience the best of mid-Maine with a stay in Boothbay Harbor’s Topside Inn.
With fresh lobsters, boat-filled harbors, and seemingly unending scenic vistas, nothing screams summer quite like the rocky coasts of Maine. Slightly off the beaten path and away from some of Maine’s more popular tourist towns is Boothbay Harbor, just over an hour’s drive north of Portland. Here awaits an idyllic place to rest, recharge, and invigorate your sense of wanderlust for the ultimate Maine experience.
