You'll never fall into tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. Doing so is like having a trusted friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. That's because our guidebooks, unlike much of the competition, are written by resident experts like Brian Kevin, the author of Frommer's Maine Coast, and the managing editor of Down East magazine. In this highly opinionated book, he'll help you sort through the options so you can tailor a vacation that's right for you.

Frommer's Maine Coast covers all of the region's highlights from the best beaches and lobster rolls to the most scenic places to hike, kayak, and sail. The book gives in-depth advice on how to tackle the wondrous Acadia National Park, the foodie scene in Portland, such small-town gems as York Village, Camden, Castine, and more.
