Maine in mid June

my husband and I are going to Maine in mid June and wondered about when exactly the ';season'; starts....I thought a little later. No real plans yet just trying to get some ideas for a fun, leisurely road trip along the coast with lots of lobster!!

Maine in mid June

We are going to Maine mid-late June and from our research the prices of B%26amp;Bs/Inns don%26#39;t go up to peak prices until the last week of June/ first week of July. We were able to secure some great deals by going right on the edge of peak season. From the research I%26#39;ve done on the weather it will probably be 60s-70s with some possible rainy days. Since this is our first trip I don%26#39;t have much advice to offer except to book soon, we booked back in January and some of the rooms we wanted were already reserved.

I see a number of hotels are ending their early-season specials on June 21st, others the weekend before that.

I usually head to Maine in August or late July...it%26#39;s high season, but we prefer to go then because the water is a lot warmer. We know some folks who have gone to Maine in June and they say that the water is freezing.

Check out Mike%26#39;s Clam Shack (on route 1)...great lobster and reasonable prices.

Have fun!

Most lodging and restaurants in Maine are open from May 1st to October 31st. However, the tourist season doesn%26#39;t get real busy until July 4th. Then it stays fairly busy until after the weekend in October when peak foliage, Canadian Thanksgiving, and Patriot%26#39;s Day all coincide. Often there is a bit of a slump the first two weeks in September after the children return to school and before fall foliage gets pretty.

Did you find any good deals on lobster?

We%26#39;ve been tto midcoast a number of times, and will be near Harpswell ib August for a week, and are wondering how good the prices will be for lobster -- either fresh caught for US to cook or where we can go to get them already cooked.
