Samantha Brown’s Places to Love – Coastal Maine
Travel Itinerary for This Episode: https://samantha-brown.com/episodes/season-3/coastal-maine/
Few places compare to coastal Maine’s wild beauty. It’s where mountains meet the ocean, marine animals have island retreats, and the air comes perfectly salted. It’s known as summer vacationland. And yet for its residents, it’s a year-long effort to create art, iconic tastes and experiences both past and present. Its coastline stretches over 3,400 miles, punctuated with lighthouses, schooners, and fabulous lobster shacks. Throw in a foggy sunrise at Cadillac Mountain and boom—you’ll see why Maine has captured so many hearts. Here’s why Maine is a place to love.

Loved the episode, Samantha. Long time viewer and know Maine well. What an absolute treasure that everyone should visit and enjoy. Proud of all the Mainers highlighted here as well. Keep up the great work!
Signed,
A native Floridian
I didn't know what you were doing these days….glad to have found you here…..loved your travels in the past and will sure enjoy again…..
Fantastic!! 🌊 Acadia is a timeless destination ~ love to see fellow New Englander, Samantha Brown, show off a few of its highlights 🦞
Hello Samantha,it’s so good to have found you again. I love lighthouses….
Shared this with my wife. I’ve been describing Maine to her, trying to get a trip scheduled. This should do the trick.
For those who have thousands to spend- and, if they don't and if the locals turn their noses up to newcomers can the newcomers end up out in the streets homeless or in a jail. Or pushed off the mountain. You tube videos show the bad parts of being up East. That movie about the married worker that had an affair with a newcomer then killed her for expecting him to leave his wife.
A quarter century! And we've been right along with you. It's good to see you again with this show on our home state. Next summer travel up to the Moosehead region to explore. Need tips? Let me know.
So I went on to Google Maps to find the Bread Box Bakery and it says that it’s closed permanently. Is that correct? If not, where is the one you went to located?
My daughter And her family now live in Maine. We went up2 summers ago and stayed in boothbay harbor. Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful country up there…. Hopefully hopefully we can go back. Soon
From New England but only been to Maine once! Incredible . But note to travelers entering Bar Harbor in a car during high season is a NIGHTMARE and this was from the late 90s! Just stay in town and walk only. Or do what she did and do it after summer. Sunrise at Acadia is AMAZING and whale watch!!!!!
I thought Mount Washington was the highest mountain on the east coast.
So glad I found this video! We were fortunate to live 24 years in NH and visited the magical coast of Maine often. Bar Harbor being one of our all time favorites, along with Ogunquit. Retired now in NC but we head back to northern New England each year to get our “fix”. There simply is nothing like it. Thanks Samantha!
Oh, dear… I've gone over two decades back in time! No idea you were on YouTube as well. I have to say, you hosted your show really well back in the day. (And I would've treasured it even more if I'd know that it was to be among the last of the classic, pre-social media, pre-Kardarshian era.) Subscribed… just cause 😏 Happy to see you again, Samantha. God bless!
Your sultry charm and captivating aura were simply irresistible, leaving an indelible mark on my senses. Time may have passed, but the your intoxicating beauty and sensuality remains forever.
Love to see you again Samantha, truly you are the best hostess for this shows 😍
I love this woman’s shows! I was born and raised in Maine (1950s/1960s) and I still love it. Every year I make contributions to the food banks because I love my people. However, I’ve lived in Europe and in nearly every part of the U.S. and now am living in St George, Utah. You haven’t seen anything until you see the five national parks in this state. The state is so beautiful it’s been suggested that it, in its entirety should be declared a national park. Watch AdventureEveryDay’s video entitled, Potash Road Complete Scenic Drive to Moab, Utah
I love your presentations, Samantha!
Will you visit Puerto Rico and Guam?
I'm hoping for more success for you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Loved this episode ❤ took lots of notes! 😊
Which town is Becky’s in
❤❤❤love your travel shows Samantha. What's it like in winter snow time there?
Our small family spent a few days visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. One morning we were up at 3:30 to be on Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise. It was dark, windy, and cold on the mountain when we arrived. The weather was in no way a deterrent. It added to the adventure.
It was cloudy that morning. A morning that the cloud cover was low lying as it rolled in from the Atlantic. Sweeping over Cadillac Mountain in the same manner and motion the waves from the ocean break on the shore. As the sun rose the light illuminated the cloud cover so that it appeared the clouds blanketing the mountain and shoreline were emblazed into a soft fire that would warm and soothe yet would not be hot to the touch.
Watching the sunrise, taking photo after photo, it was easy to imagine that had SE Hinton written a follow up to The Outsiders she might have placed Ponyboy Curtis on Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise.
Thanks for sharing one of my all time favorite places!! So happy I found your channel!
Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year 🎊
This episode, especially the Lighthouse, reminded us of one of our favourite TV series "Haven" which was based in the beautiful city of Maine.. 🤩
The blueberry pie! saya #thebourbontart Come to the Kentucky Bourbon trail and stay at #wildflowerranhinn on us SB.
It’s hard to see the coast of Maine while driving or walking. People put up tall fences to guard their personal views and land.
Seeing you step out onto the same exact rocks at Jordan Pond where my mom and I used to stop and watch the sunfish was my favorite moment. It was actual emotional to see someone in that place. Thanks for showing my favorite state and the coastal region that were so formative in my life.
You’re the best!
