Mid-Coast Maine Chambers of Commerce

Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to the Belfast Area - The heart of Coastal Maine.  Whether you are a young family wanting to raise your children in a safe, friendly community; a business owner looking for reliable, hardworking employees; an artist seeking a creative environment in which to work; or a retired person wanting to connect with a vibrant, caring community, the greater Belfast area will meet your needs.  Housing options include everything from rural farmhouses and acreage; apartments in downtown Belfast; classic in-town homes; centuries-old traditional Maine homes; condominiums and townhomes; and retirement and assisted living communities.  The population of Waldo County is just 25,000 people, spread over 730 square miles.  The most populated towns are Belfast (county seat), Winterport, Lincolnville and Searsport, among the most beautiful and historically interesting towns in Maine.  More than half of the county has a population density of fewer than 100 people per square mile.  While Maine is billed as "Vacation-land," the professionals that reside in Waldo County offer reasons why you should consider moving your business to the area.  With excellent private and public schools and convenient colleges and universities, many young married couples are returning to Waldo County to raise their children.  Retirees have found Waldo County to be the perfect retirement community.  It offers a serene atmosphere with all types of cultural events, concerts, art galleries, museums, libraries (with internet connections) and accessible shopping on tree lined streets; excellent medical and health care facilities; convenient, courteous and friendly banks and financial institutions - all with small town ambiance!

Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce

Enjoy the Harbor Life - Boothbay Harbor.  A Mid-coast peninsula with miles of famous rocky Maine coastline.  Set out to "sea" whales or puffins, glide along outer harbor waters aboard a Windjammer, or cruise past Seal Rock, Ram Island Lighthouse and Burnt Island Light - a restored island and living history museum.  Feast on lobster at Cabbage Island, or any restaurant or lobster pound.  Book passage on a fishing boat and hook a fresh fish or two.  Rent a kayak or sailboat and check out our many coves.  Back on shore, hike, golf, shop or just kick back and relax!

Camden - Rockport - Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce

There's so much to do in Camden, Rockport, and Lincolnville, it's hard to know where to start.  So begin at the top of Mt. Battie at the Camden Hills State Park!  Hike or drive up for a panoramic view of the harbor, islands, and ocean.  Afterwards, head into the village to have lunch by the water and stroll along the harborside.  While you're in town don't forget our many shops and galleries where great goodies await.  Looking for a water experience, take a windjammer cruise or climb aboard a sightseeing boat.  You can even set your course for the many lighthouses within an easy drive.  In the evening have dinner at a pub or family eatery or a special dinner at an elegant restaurant and then enjoy a performance at the Camden or Rockport Opera Houses.  Where ever your day guides you, be sure to plan your stay at one of our many inns, B&Bs, or hotels.  Come stay and play, here where the mountains meet the sea in Midcoast Maine.

Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce

East Penobscot Bay Association

Rockland/Thomaston Area Chamber of Commerce
Real people ... Real places ... TheRealMaine™  If you're looking for the authentic Maine experience, this is it. The Rockland-Thomaston area is the entry point to Penobscot Bay, perhaps the most scenic body of water on the eastern seaboard.  Here you'll find scores of islands, a dozen historic lighthouses, and quiet little protected harbors filled with working lobster boats.  Ospreys and bald eagles nest high in the spruces along rugged shores, puffins make the island their home, deer browse the open fields, moose forage the wetlands, and harbor seals make their annual pilgrimage to quiet coves.  While nature is at the core, hospitality is the rule of the day.  Here you'll find access to island ferries, comfortable accommodations, outstanding restaurants and galleries, first-class museums, and the retail center for the Mid-Coast region of Maine.  Rockland hosts more windjammers than any other port in the U.S. and is also the lobster capital of the world and home of the Maine Lobster Festival.  Thomaston, with its beautiful village green, overlooks the head of the salt-water portion of the St. George River.  Stately sea captains' homes grace the quiet residential streets, and the historic downtown area is a place to find antiques, fine art and a gourmet meal.  Penobscot Bay itself offers many diversions - spend a day fishing with a Maine Guide, cruise on a majestic windjammer or go sea kayaking.  Inland, you'll find clear lakes in which to swim, venerable coastal mountains to claim and parks for picnicking.  We invite you to come experience TheRealMaine™.

Southern Midcoast Maine (Bath-Brunswick) Chamber of Commerce

We are so much more than just a tourist destination.  We have beaches, rocky coasts, lobsters and history.  But what we really offer is community.  You come to the Bath-Brunswick Region to live.  Whether for a week or a lifetime, we offer a sense of place that no one else can match.  From real Main streets that sell everything from appliances to antiques, to scenic harbors that have lobster traps instead of tourist traps.  In the Bath-Brunswick Region you'll find everything you've been looking for, and a lot more.  Drive down our scenic peninsulas and quiet country roads and marvel at the natural wonders around every bend.  Explore quaint shops and galleries or relax to a night of summer music.  For the time of your life, come to the Bath-Brunswick Region.

Vinalhaven Chamber of Commerce

Vinalhaven, the largest island in Penobscot Bay, is home to the world's most productive lobster fishing fleet.  Lobstering accounts for about 50% of its economy and tourism about 40%.  This working community of 1,300 has managed these two diverse economic elements so that they co-exist happily instead of in conflict with one another.  Each summer hundreds come to Vinalhaven to enjoy its astonishing natural beauty.  We who live here are happy to seem them come but, by Labor Day, we are happy to see them go.  Not because we haven't enjoyed them while they were here but because we value the relative peace that comes with the end of summer.  By Memorial Day we're looking forward to them coming back.
