Rockland Travel Guide: Maine's MidCoast & Islands

MidCoast Maine is the only place on the East Coast where scenic harbors, island getaways, and a vibrant arts scene all meet. One of the major stops along the MidCoast we recommend exploring is the city of Rockland.
From the museums such as the Farnsworth Art Museum, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and Owls Head Transportation Museum.
To the magnificent Owls Head Light Station with its breathtaking views and Vinalhaven Island's nature reserves.
To the mouthwatering Lobster Rolls of Claws and delicious cold-brew coffee of Rock City Coffee. So many adventures await!
Here's our guide to Rockland, Maine to help you find the best to see, eat, and explore. Hope you enjoy!

Arie, you are adorable! We are going to Rockland today because of YOU!

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

Whoa that’s so cool! I loved Rockland and Maine’s MidCoast, have fun!!

[@2000SkyView]

music is too loud, need to better balance volume between video and music.

[@smaymcg]

Love it! I think the music is just a little too loud. Too drastic a change from your voice. Just FYI :) I was wearing headphones

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

Glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for the tip!

[@simplyaireeyell1731]

I'm moving out to Rockland in a month. So this traveler video definitely helps me set some expectations on what I'll be seeing, what to look for, what I can do to get a bit more of a solid footing in my new home. It also helps to know your name is Ariel when my name is Arielle 😄

Dude. Great vid. But damn... your sound mixing is way off.

[@robaliberti7488]

Go to Deere Island! Also do more history stuff when you travel

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

Yes! I'll be doing more history-travel videos on RUclips moving forward! As for Maine, I actually covered a bunch of its history on Facebook Live videos that can be found here: facebook.com/watch/UrbanistLive/298287320760618/

[@ericvaneck4296]

Sound issues

[@JayMurrr]

Nice video but you need to adjust you volume levels. Musics way to Lou’s compared to your voice
