Victorian by the Sea, Camden, ME - Fall Foliage

When my sister moved to Searsport, Maine, we had no idea that part of the country was so diverse. Ocean, hills, beaches, flatlands - all make Maine a paradise. But Camden has to be hands down the most striking autumn leaves capital of the state. Here, you will see dramatic colors as the trees turn all shades and the leaves drop to the ground and form those huge piles of fall leaves that are so fun to jump in. With port after port, the scenery around Camden, Maine, is a must see. And Camden, Maine, lodging is a piece of cake with many wonderful hotels and bed and breakfasts.

We fell in love with Victorian by the Sea and you will, too. From the moment you arrive, you feel so relaxed and welcome. The view cannot be beat - you've come for the fall foliage in Maine and you're next to the ocean. How cool is that?


When the harvest time light is just so, you can double your pleasure and see the mirror reflection of leaves in the water below this Queen Anne cottage in coastal Maine.

Watch the schooners sailing by on Penobscot Bay or, even better, get on one for a spectacular view of this colorful season from the water. 800-382-9817; victorianbythesea.com.
