Rockland is a working harbor town on the western shore of Penobscot Bay, long known as a lobster and fishing port and now equally for art and food. The Farnsworth Art Museum, with its collection of works by three generations of the Wyeth family, and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art anchor a downtown full of galleries and restaurants. Just up the coast, Camden’s harbor, framed by the Camden Hills, is one of the most photographed in New England, and the region is home to a fleet of traditional schooners, or windjammers.

Rockland is roughly three and a half hours from Boston and much longer from New York, with slow summer traffic on Route 1. Knox County Regional Airport in nearby Owls Head is only a few miles from downtown, so flying private is the most practical way to reach summer homes in Camden, Rockport and the islands. Visitors sail aboard windjammers, take the ferries to Vinalhaven and North Haven, hike Mount Battie, walk the Rockland Breakwater and eat lobster at the waterfront.

Things to do in Rockland

When to go. Summer is prime time on Penobscot Bay, with windjammer sailing, island ferries and the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland in early August. Camden’s Windjammer Festival comes over Labor Day weekend. September and early October bring calm days, fewer crowds and foliage on the Camden Hills. Winters are quiet and cold, and many seasonal businesses close.
