Do you enjoy sea kayaking along Maine's spectacular coastline, but prefer a cozy bed to a sleeping bag? Do you like to visit beautiful offshore islands, but want to minimize your impact on these fragile treasures? Would you like to camp on public islands, but worry that you'll arrive at your intended destination to find the camping spots filled?
If you answered "yes!" to any of these questions, consider staying at one of Maine's many coastal lodgings instead of island camping on your next overnight kayaking trip.
