The beach may not the first thing you think about when someone mentions Maine, the most northeasterly state of the US. Maine is all about lobsters and frosted windows. It is surrounded by New Hampshire, Canada, and Atlantic Ocean. Maine’s love affair with the sea started when it was first inhabited by Wabanaki people. Its maritime history has chapters of eventful tales, and its rocky shores have witnessed many adventures and changes of fortune.
