The Maine Summer Bucket List (Real Estate Edition) 

Summer is our favorite season to show homes—but it’s also our favorite season to soak in the beauty and charm of Maine. Between showings, listings, and late-evening emails, here’s where we go to recharge and remind us why we love living here.

☕ Fuel First: Favorite Coffee & Breakfast Spots

• Zoot Coffee (Camden) – Our go-to for a morning latte and a quiet moment before the day kicks off.

• Dot’s (Lincolnville) – Charming, cozy, and the best breakfast sandwich this side of Route 1.

• Seafolk Coffee (Rockport) – We'll take our cappuccino with a side of harbor view, please.

🏖️ Best Places to Jump In the Water

• Laite Beach (Camden) – A perfect mid-showing refresh with Penobscot Bay views.

• Megunticook Lake – Quiet coves, sun-warmed rocks, and some of the best freshwater swimming around.

• Birch Point State Park (Owls Head) – A hidden gem with soft sand and warm tidal pools.

🍦 Essential Summer Treats

• River Ducks Ice Cream (Camden) – Their wild Maine blueberry is unbeatable.

• John’s Ice Cream (Liberty) – The real-deal, small-batch, made-with-love kind of treat.

• The Blue Chill – Fresh popsicles in Blue Hill, YES please! Zero-waste and all the flavor.

🥗 Post-Showing Bites & Scenic Sips

• The Causeway (Spruce Head) – Sit outside, watch the boats, and enjoy the best lobster roll of the summer.

• Long Grain (Camden) – Eat in, or take it to go and walk down to Camden harbor for a view while you eat delicious Thai food. 

• McLoons Lobster Shack (South Thomaston) – Fresh Maine lobster rolls with a great view! 

🐚 Just for Me: Favorite Ways to Unwind

• Hunting sea glass at Drift Inn Beach or Roque Bluffs.

• Sunset drives with no destination.

• Garden time—even 10 minutes with dirt under our fingernails resets everything.
