Welcome to the Schoodic National Scenic Byway
The Maine Schoodic Area is exactly what people declare it to be: an unspoiled, uncrowded coastal Maine jewel. First-time visitors are typically amazed by all the peninsula has to offer. In this one, unique location, bold mountains meet the sea . . . art meets nature . . . lobster meets the belly . . . and no one meets a stranger.
The opportunities for outdoor adventures are endless and the vibrant community of artisans, historic sites, museums, and places to experience the coast of Maine will leave you breathless.
In 2023, the Schoodic National Scenic Byway received two very special awards:
- The 2023 Maine Tourism Innovation & Creativity Award (Kids Quest)
- The National “Byway Organization Award for Visitor Experience” from the National Scenic Byway Foundation
