Go to a fun filled festival or cruise Penobscot Bay on a tall-mast schooner out of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland Harbors — they are all just minutes away from Starlight Lodge at Rockport Harbor.
See our lighthouses up close and touchable, hop a ferry to one of our beautiful islands and explore Monhegan, Isleboro, North Haven or Vinalhaven on foot, with bike or with car. Stroll our delightful harbor towns along turn of the century waterfronts where you will find world class restaurants (some with award-winning chefs), great shopping, unique boutiques, art galleries, museums and so much more!
And did we mention LOBSTAH? We are located in the heart of the lobster catch capital of the world and you will find great seafood everywhere (and you can even go out on a real lobster boat and watch a catch!)
Play golf at a public course including a breath-taking waterfront course at the award-winning Samoset Resort just 7 minutes from Starlight Lodge at Rockport Harbor. Hike, bike, beach, or kayak on your own or at numerous state parks—all within minutes of our Lodge.
For more adventure travel “down east” (up the coast) to Bar Harbor, Maine for a grand day trip to Acadia National Park, one of America’s true treasures, or drive an hour down to Boothbay Harbor to the remarkably stunning Maine Botanical Garden, one of the best in the country.
