Maine Meetings... There is something about the Maine Coast. Perhaps that something is the miles and miles of endless sea, surf and rocky coastline. Maybe it is the Atlantic Ocean which is bound to fill you with wonder as you watch seagulls soaring and waves rolling in. Maybe it is the uncommon Maine hospitality. Or maybe it is the scenic seaside villages full of boutiques and fabulous restaurants. Whatever it is - a meeting in Maine is sure to be your best ever.

Roll up your sleeves and get to work, or crack into a lobster. The Maine Coast is dotted with some of America's oldest and most beautiful lighthouses. In quaint seaside communities, museums and historic sites re-create the past.

One of the advantages to a meeting in Maine is that each town has its own unique charm. And wherever a group stays, it's just a quick trip to visit the other delightful Maine towns. Ocean-lovers will find endless opportunities for whale watching, lobster boat tours, scenic sailing trips and more.

Maine is the shopping mecca of Northern New England, and for good reason. Scores of factory outlet stores to delight the bargain hunter, antique and craft shops and art galleries for the collector. Craft fairs and antique shows are regular events. And of course the infamous L.L. Bean, open 365 days a year 24 hours a day, makes its home here in Maine.

Breathtaking scenery. Pristine beaches. Fabulous shopping and dining. Gracious hospitality. The Maine Coast has everything you need for a great meeting, any time of year. We're a million miles from the daily grind - yet much closer than you think.

Seasonal Tip - Meeting planners considering the best time of year for their meeting or incentive travel program should remember that the Maine Coast is busier during July and August. The spring and fall "shoulder" seasons are often best for meetings. The weather is still warm, and the summer crowds are not here. Meeting executives looking for the ultimate value may wish to try a winter visit when they can virtually "own" an Inn for their retreat.
