Just one of the many stunning seafront towns in Maine, Stonington is located at the tip of Deer Isle in Penobscot Bay. This coastal village is best known for its extensive lobster fleet of more than 300 boats, which is the largest in the state, so obviously you can expect to eat first-class seafood here. If you stay at the waterfront Inn on the Harbor, you can watch the boats leave at sunrise and then see them come back in with the day's catch ready for you to sample for dinner.
