Visit Maine's warm cities, stunning coast for a memorable romantic getaway

With its craggy coastlines, mountains, and seaward vistas, Maine is a wonderful place for a romantic weekend getaway. Waterfront resorts, hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts are abundant. Your romantic getaway can start on the South Coast, with sandy beaches, resorts, and carefree summer atmosphere. Luxury lodgings with spa services are wonderful to find and enjoy.
