It's minutes away in any direction from fine restaurants to great little carry-outs like the Owls Head General Store and the owner's favorite Rockland's Rock City Cafe. Like adventure? Book a ride on a schooner. Take a Rockport Harbor cruise. Take a ferry and spend an afternoon on a variety of islands. Visit Marshall Point lighthouse and see where Tom Hanks ended his run in the movie Forrest Gump. Climb Mount Batty for an incredible view of the Gulf of Maine. Like art? Visit the Farnsworth museum and experience the art of the Wyeth family or the many art shops lining Rockland's main street. Enjoy winter? Come relax with a cup of tea while the snow falls. Winter fun? Enjoy skiing and snowboarding at The Camden Snowbowl while taking in the ocean views, checking out The U.S National Toboggan Races in February, snow-shoeing or cross country skiing at The Camden Hills state park or enjoy something more relaxing like a show at The Camden Opera House.
