    I lived in OOB for 8 years in the 90s and early 2000s. A fantastic town!

    Calling it Maine's Jersey Shore is pretty accurate. I've spent a ton of time in both. It's a great place to entertain the kids, but if you're just looking for a quiet getaway, you might want to look north of the pier.

      I agree. It's great for a fun time, there are some quiet places in OOB but near the pier is not one of them!

    I have a camping trip to OOB planned in early JUNE of this year . What can i expect as far as crowds, weather and traffic at that time of year?

    • @MakeMaineYourHome
      @MakeMaineYourHome  11 месяцев назад +1

      Summer in Maine definitely brings crowds! That being said early June won't be too bad. It can still be a bit cold so make sure you have some sort of heat source if you are tent camping. Also I suggest driving during there week and not on the weekend to avoid tourist traffic up to Maine, but once you are here there is really no traffic! I really hope you enjoy your trip!

      A lot of Maine requires a commercial drone license. We are in the process of obtaining ours so that we can bring you more ariel views and photography for our site and property tours. If you want more information on drone laws in Maine visit: uavcoach.com/drone-laws-maine/

    Loved that place so much as a kid, but the last 2 years we went there the locals would yell racial slurs at us. We were Quebecois, what happened, what did we do to offend them. My parents decided we wouldn't go anymore, word got around in Quebec. We wasn't welcomed ther anymore.. I ask why?? I loved that place.

    • @MakeMaineYourHome
