Explore Route 1

Once past the hustle and bustle of the Kittery outlets and other tourist traps, Route 1 in Maine takes on a life of its own, with ocean landscapes, distinctive towns, and rolling farmlands to see, and lighthouses, antique shops, and endless clam shacks to visit along the way. Begin in Kittery and drive the entire 734 miles along the coastline and discover the tranquility of Maine's sparsely-populated northern counties. Plan on a few days and a couple hotel stops to complete the 1,468 miles roundtrip. To plan your itinerary, visit www.exploreroute1.com.
