It also has three 18-hole golf courses and excellent specialty shopping.

Brunswick – Brunswick (population 22,000) is located on the coast, 25 miles northeast of Portland. It is a picturesque and historic New England community that dates back to 1628. It has many amenities and is within easy reach of Portland, Maine’s largest city, as well as many of the charming coastal communities. The region has a number of artisans and it promotes and celebrates the arts. It is also home to Bowdoin College and the Naval Air Station Brunswick.

Camden – Camden (population 5,300) is a picturesque coastal community in the Midcoast region of Maine. It is about 60 miles north of Portland, one hour south of Bangor, and is nestled around a well-protected harbor on Penobscot Bay.
