We spent a day driving south of Belfast to visit Maine coastal towns. On the way we stopped at Lincolnville Beach. Lincolnville is a small coastal town of about 2,100 with a tiny beach and an inn.
We continued our drive south and came to Mount Battie auto road in Camden Hills State Park. The summit provided scenic views of Penobscot Bay and Camden. The valley below was shades of red and gold.
On the way up...

After spending some time walking around Camden we continued down the road to Rockland. Rockland has a population of 7,300. It too has a small downtown with old brick buildings but we were focused on finding a place for lunch so we didn't get any pictures of the town. We did find a great little diner for lunch.
After lunch it was time to drive back to Belfast.
