It's a gorgeous, small town rich in history as it's home to Fort Williams and Portland Headlight - the most photographed lighthouse in the world. It also is home to several gorgeous beaches and has some incredibly huge houses.
Jonesport, Maine

Jonesport is a real Downeast lobster fishing town of about 1800 year-round residents, including Beals Island. It has a wonderful shoreline filled with wild roses, and is more Maine in accent than, I think, any other coastal Maine town.
We've been mentioned on NPR for Tall Barney's, a restaurant and hangout for the locals, and recently had a visit from a young woman who is kayaking and biking around the country. We came here by chance in 1978, bought our house, put in plumbing and wiring, spent summers here off and on, and now, retired from Michigan State, live here year 'round and love it--it takes some adjustment: no shopping malls, no movie houses for 60 miles, and the town is "dry." Great people!

Machias is in the middle of nowhere Maine. Right next to Jonesport where someone else has posted about their town. And oddly I think I know them lol. Machias has a small waterfall. Machias means Bad Little Falls... (It's Indian). The Pasamaquaddy tribe isn't too far from here.
We're right on the coast, so we have beaches, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, sailing. We're 90 minutes from Bangor wheter there is a mall. I attend the University of Maine at Machias - which is the center of town. Machias is prettiest in the summer, everything has bloomed. There's a back road here that is gorgeaus called Black Woods Road - and saves u a good 20 minutes on your drive. At night alot of college students spend time drinking lol. We have an interesting bar AJ's.. recently renamed the "Thirsty Moose Cafe" - you'll see some pretty sketchy town women getting jiggy on the dance floor, lol! If you want to hop over to Canada real quick for some A&W it's only 45 minutes. There's a neat little museum called the Burnham Tavern that tells the history of Machias. I'd say 500-600 people live here. Machias is a great place to visit, it's beautiful, and the people are fun to hang out with. If your coming up this way you should definitely email me. Wishing you the best on you travels!
