For most people who fall in love with Camden, it’s love at first sight – and then it’s love all over again whenever they come back. Some take the plunge and move here, some just visit! What’s not to love? Camden, Maine looks and feels like the typical coastal Maine village of your imagination: colorfully painted stores and restaurants line Main Street, and just a few steps from there is one of the most scenic Maine harbors, where sail boats of all sizes are waiting to take you out to sea. Looking back on the town from one of these boats, you see what makes Camden different from most other midcoast towns – the beautiful Camden Hills framing the village from the West! The combination of hills and harbor makes Camden one of the two places on the Atlantic “where the mountains meet the sea.” Hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, and sightseers all enjoy the views from above, onto the white church steeples, the blue-green sea, and the dozens of islands floating in Penobscot Bay. In October, the foliage in the hills is unforgettable, and in the winter, you can ski with a view of the sea! Towne Motel has been awarded a certificate of excellence for 12 years and was inducted into the TA Hall of fame in 2019. They have also been a Yelp Traveler’s Choice!
