Wild Maine Blueberry Martini at Azure Cafe

Visit the Azure Cafe where you can dine on the patio under umbrellas and gaze at the garden flora. Executive Chef Christopher Bassett will prepare authentic Italian dishes using fresh, Maine ingredients for your pleasure. Azure has won awards for having one of the best wine lists in the world! Definitely worth indulging!

You will find a little more relaxed atmosphere is the Broad Arrow Tavern. With an open kitchen and wood fired oven and grill, surrounded by a hunting lodge setting. Enjoy seafood, lobster stew, burgers, pizza and more by the fire or on the terrace. The dead animals hanging around freaked me out at first but I quickly warmed up to having all ‘eyes' on me!

Set sail on an Atlantic Seal Cruise as there are many different types of cruises available to choose from. Tour the Seguin Island Lighthouse while keeping an eye out for the occasional whale and porpoise sightings, along with the seal watching. Cruise to Eagle Island and visit the museum home of the first man to reach the North Pole, Admiral Peary.

Don't miss a chance to visit the Cold River Vodka Distillery. Made from Maine potatoes, crisp mountain spring water,  much care and attention, the distillery tour offers guests a chance to see where their vodka and gin are distilled.
