Maine's Southern Mid Coast

Southern Mid Coast Maine stretches from Brunswick and runs north along Maine's rocky coast to Edgecomb.

Mid coast Maine begins at Freeport, Maine and continues north for about 30 miles. The Mid coast is known for having the best of Maine: a coastline of amazing vistas, easy access to cultural events and shopping, quality educational facilities such as Bowdoin College, and more.

BRUNSWICK HAS BEEN RANKED one of the top five places to retire in America by Money magazine for the second time in five years. The article below cites senior educational opportunities, relatively low living costs, attractive communities, hospitals, recreational and cultural offerings. From Money:

"Brunswick, Maine. A classic New England fishing village that's also home to Bowdoin, a 207-year-old, top-ranking liberal arts college, Brunswick is picturesque but not isolated, bustling but not hectic."
Money also named Brunswick one of the best places to retire in 2000.

From flowers to fresh vegetables, local turkey to traditional sourdough breads, the farmers' markets are a popular attraction.

Pickard Theater on the Bowdoin College Campus presents extraordinary stage events. Recently renovated, season tickets sell out early! This is a favorite pastime for many local residents as well as visitors.

The Gazebo located in Brunswick's Town Commons is host to weekly band concerts in the summer. In the winter, it overlooks ice skating. And on one lucky day in June it is host to a Strawberry festival.
