Activities:
- Day Trips: Ten Day Trips
A wonderful Itinerary of Tours and Trips from the Inn.
We recently planned a trip that resembles what many of our guests arrange.
We traveled for ten days and stayed in seven inns or bed and breakfasts.
At the end of our trip, we were exhausted and extremely tired of packing,
repacking and carrying our luggage! So, we decided we should assist our
guests in enjoying their vacations to the maximum! Stay at The Newcastle
Inn for a while and explore the wonders of Mid-Coast Maine without changing
accomodations. Within a short drive from the Inn are so many attractions
that they are hard to list on one page. Let us share them with you.
You've arrived at the Inn, had a refreshing beverage on the deck overlooking
the Damariscotta River, and relaxed during our renowned five-course dinner.
In the morning you've eaten a delightful breakfast on the deck, are refreshed
and ready for adventure!
Day 1 - Pemaquid Peninsula.Today explores our Peninsula. Visit
Christmas Cove
(which is one of the most famous sailing harbors on the Coast
of Maine) and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse,
one of the most photographed
lighthouses on the Coast. Walk along the rocks and marvel at the view, stop at
Pemaquid Beach for a little sun and relaxation, step back in time and visit
Fort William Henry and the Colonial Museum. After a morning of touring, enjoy
a spectacular lunch on the outside deck at Shaw's Restaurant, feasting on
lobster and other fresh seafood while watching the activities of the lobster
dock at New Harbor. On the way back to Damariscotta, visit the Granite Hall Store and step back in time.
Of course, I'm assuming that you will
have stopped at the many antique shops along the way! Finish up this day with
a leisurely stroll down the main street of Damariscotta where you will find
quaint shops and, of course, our own Reny's Department Stores where bargains
are an everyday occurrence.
Day 2 - Off to Monhegan.
Monhegan Island! This beautiful island
is 12 miles off the Coast from New Harbor (the Hardy Boat leaves from Shaw's
Restaurant's dock). Monhegan Island is known for its scenic views which
attracted artists since almost the beginning of our history. Miles of hiking
trails, over 600 species of flowers, bird migration flyway, a wonderful
museum and artist galleries featuring local art works, dramatic cliffs, and
over 400 years of history. The Hardy Boat departs at 9:00 A.M. and returns at
4 P.M. You'll be tired tonight, so join us for a relaxing dinner to end the
day.
Day 3 - The Farnsworth.
Today is the day for culture! We'll go
35 minutes to our North to Rockland. Be sure to stop off along the way in the
quaint town of Thomaston to visit the many antique stores (believe it or not,
the Maine State Prison Store is worth a stop) and also Montpelier, the replica of a grand mansion built in 1794 by General Henry Knox and now maintained by the Thomaston Historical Society. On arriving in Rockland you
will turn left onto Main Street and find the Farnsworth Museum, which has one
of the finest collections of art works of the three generations of the
Wyeth Family (Andrew, Jaime and N.C.). After touring the Museum, you can also
visit the Farnsworth Homestead, full of Victorian furnishings and furniture.
Try lunch next door to the Museum at the Second Read, which is a used
bookstore/café. Next, you're off to visit the Olsen House in Cushing
which is the location for many of Andrew Wyeth's famous "Christina's World"
series of paintings.
With your fill of art, next stop is
Owls Head Transportation Museum where the
guys get revenge for all of that "art" they were forced to see in the morning.
Here you will enjoy a wonderful collection of antique cars and early airplanes
located in some of the Hangars of Rockland Airport in Owls Head! Not for men
only! Further down the road is Owls Head Lighthouse which is nestled in the
pines of the Maine coast. It is truly delightful and not to be missed. For those
who really want to travel the backroads of the Maine Coast, continue down the
Peninsula to Tenant's Harbor and Port Clyde. Spectacular coastal views along the
way as you step back into history and visit some real Maine fishing villages.
Day 4 - Rockport, Camden and Lincolnville.
Today we drive 35
minutes north and explore the wonders of the Camden Region. This can truly be a
day's event! Start the day by driving North up Route 1 to Route 90 West. This
great short cut ends in Rockport, one of the prettiest harbors along Penobscot
Bay, and once home of Andre the harbor seal, now made famous by a children's book
and a movie. Rockport has some lovely antique shops along the main street.
Next, back onto Route 1 and into
Camden which is definitely everyone's ideal Maine
Harbor Village. The Town surrounds the harbor full of sailboats, particularly the
Maine Windjammers which are berthed there.
The best place to stop and look at the
Harbor is right on the back lawn of the Camden Library
which is worth a stop in itself. Shopping in the shops, going
for harbor cruises, and enjoying lunch at the
many fine restaurants makes Camden a great place to explore. Our favorite lunch
spot is a table on the Harbor at the Waterfront Restaurant on Bayview Street but
we also hear that the pub at the Seadog brewery on Mechanic Street is also a local
favorite. After all that shopping and great food, you need to do some exercise,
so go up Route 1 North a few miles and visit the Camden Hills State Park. You can
hike up the many Mt. Battie
trails at the Park, or, if you prefer not to hike, you
can also drive to the top of the mountain and enjoy the breathtaking view!
If you still have some daylight left, keep going on Route 1 to Lincolnville Beach.
A great view of the water across to Islesboro at the Ferry Landing, and, again, a
few nice antique stores to visit across the street. For a final destination, why
not visit Windsor Chairmakers on Route 1 a mile North of the beach. You'll see some
amazing wooden chairs being made right here in Maine. And stop at Maine Sports
on the way back through Camden. It is one amazing store for the sports person in all
of us.
Day 5 - Boothbay Harbor.
Today you'll drive a short 20 minutes to
Boothbay Harbor via the River Road. The whale watch is not to be missed! It's
always successful, and they guarantee it. Boats also depart throughout the day for
various cruises along the Coast. Lunch should be enjoyed at Fisherman's Wharf next
to the Town Landing in Harbor, or, at the many outdoor lobster pounds located across
the walking bridge to the other side of the Harbor. Enjoy the afternoon browsing in
the many shops in the area, or wander by car across the swing bridge to Southport
Island. On the d - Canoeing/Kayaking: General Information:
The following are short descriptions of Kayaking Tours we have prepared for the Pemaquid Peninsula Area, a spectacular kayaking venue. We will provide you with detailed tour information and a sea chart, upon request, once you have booked your stay at the Inn.
Destination 1: Upper Damariscotta River and Salt Bay Tour
This wonderful tour can be accomplished by most levels of kayakers. It starts and ends at the Town Landing in Damariscotta Harbor, and travels up the river and on into the Great Salt Bay. Stops along the way to see the Whaleback Midden Site, Damarascotta River Association Salt Bay Farm and Trails, and the alewife fish ladder at Damariscotta Mills.
Destination 2: The Damariscotta River
For more adventuresome paddlers, this mighty river winds its way 11 miles from Damariscotta Harbor to the Ocean at East Boothbay and South Bristol. Stops along the way include the Dodge Point Nature Preserve, several oyster fishing farms, the Darling Marine Center, and the Gut in South Bristol (a working fishing harbor).
Destination 3: South Bristol and Christmas Cove
This great tour is basically a circumnavigation of Rutherford Island (Christmas Cove), which is a part of the Town of South Bristol. It takes you through the South Bristol Gut and into John’s Bay. You travel east along Rutherford Island, and on into the Thread of Life, a wonderful passage around to the west side of the island and the Damariscotta River. The trip then stops at Christmas Cove, and returns to South Bristol to complete the circle.
Destination 4: Johns Bay to Pemaquid Point
This is a terrific tour for the experienced kayaker. You start at the state boat launching facility in Pemaquid next to the reproduction of Colonial Fort Pemaquid. From there you can travel up the Pemaquid River, or out of the harbor into John’s Bay and onto Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. Stops along the way include the Fort, Pemaquid Beach, and the lighthouse.
Destination 5: Muscongos Bay
Accessing Muscongus Bay at Round Pond allows for wonderful trips up the Bay, including stops at Loud’s Island and the Audubon Camp on Hog’s Island. For the more intrepid kayakers, you can also paddle east along the coast and visit the lobster fishing village of New Harbor or paddle down to the Pemaquid Lighthouse from this side of the peninsula. Spectacular views all the way!
Destination 6: Boothbay Harbor and Linekin Bay
This destination is a very popular place to visit and kayak. Boothbay Harbor is one of the best tourist locations in Maine, with shops and restaurants galore, all kinds of ocean day cruises, fishing excursions, and whale watches. However, the real beauty of the harbor is found on the water. Here are several kayaking trips depending on your ability.
First, you must tour the inner harbor, being careful to stay clear of all of the fishing boats, tour boats, and pleasure craft in this wonderful harbor. Then you can tour out of the inner harbor and around McKown Point to the Townsend Gut. This passage takes you over to the Back River or to Ebenecook Harbor which is right next to the Sheepscot River. Or you can travel east from the inner harbor and go past Spruce Point into Linekin Bay, which has some great sites along the way. For really experienced kayakers there is a tour down the coast of Southport Island past Capital and Squirrel Islands and on to Cape Newagen and Cuckolds Lighhouse. Just some fantastic kayaking all the way. - Hiking: A series of hiking and walking tours in the Damariscotta

the farthest point on the Sheepscot River that the tide is salt water. The
old Head Tide Church and the quaint village store are nice stops along the way.
You head out of the village on Route 194 South through the rolling hills of Alna
to the amazing "Cow Shit Corner." You will know you are there at least a

the Highway. - Antique Shopping: A Series of Antiquing Tours along the Mid-Coast of Maine.
General Information: Antiquing along the
Coast of Maine is a wonderful way to see the wonders of this area and have some
fun at the same time. Many antique dealers are open only in the Summer
months, and this is generally a cottage industry of small shops located in a
barn or other building or in a person's home. You can wander down any back
road in the Mid-Coast and find several interesting antique shops. The fun
of it all is finding that incredible treasure in the midst of what seems to be a
pile of "junk." The tours in this itinerary will focus on antiques and art
dealers who have survived the test of time and who are serious about their
business. You always need to be careful, for what you think is the "great
find of the year" may turn out to be a reproduction or damaged goods.
Caveat Emptor is always the rule.

love to bid up the prices and then drop out leaving you holding the bag for more
than it is worth.
