Downeast Maine feels like the edge of the country. Lobster boats, quiet harbors, and long stretches of empty shoreline define this drive especially outside peak summer.

ROUTE OVERVIEW:

Ellsworth -> Machias -> Lubec

SUGGESTED STOPS:

Roque Bluffs coastal road

Cutler Harbor backroads

Lubec waterfront at sunrise
