Searsport, a small coastal town, is
centrally located on mid-coast Maine. Large ships frequently moor behind our Inn
as this is both a fishing town and an active seaport. It is quite a sight to see
a ship all lighted at night, reflecting in the water- awaiting the tug boats to
escort it to the pier, or watching lobster boats checking their traps.
The oldest Marine museum in the state, The
Penobscot Marine Museum with 12 buildings, 9 of which are on the National
Historic Register is located here. The museum houses the largest collection of
Charles & Mary A town rich in seafaring heritage, Searsport supplied 10% of the world's sea captains and the many masted schooners were built here The architecture is beautiful and you will want to see some of the finest stained glass geometric windows in the U.S. at the "Harbor" church. Searsport is also the antique capital of Maine, with oodles of antique stores and outdoor flea markets. Excellent dining - ranging from exquisite fine dining on local & imported fare - to the best Thai restaurant in New England; to a great micro-brewery & pub; an immaculate family restaurant with some of the best sea food available; to delectable waterfront dining at Lincolnville Beach; to lobster shack, sub shops and taverns - and the best ice cream around. (Mainers eat more ice cream than any other state.) We are but 10 minutes from Belfast, where
you may wander the charming shops and galleries; enjoy various types of boating;
go kayaking or attend a great live theatre - and of course - view the Belfast
Bearfest and have some wondrous food; 25 minutes to Lincolnville Beach to the

wish you had allowed more time. That's all right as inevitably - you'll return!
