Just a little insight into this video. This was going to be a short form video for instagram, tiktok, and our @woltersworldshorts channel, however i got a bit over excited and made the video too long. So apologies as I know many people don't like the long form videos in this vertical form. My apologies.

Brit here, first time I've seen an English seaside town in Maine. Sadly we don't have those blueberry doughnuts. Enjoyed the video.

Wow, so much has changed. I spent my summers there in 85/86

I lived there a few years ago for a bit. It's an interesting combo of cute and seedy: some hotels there still had "We have color TVs" signs on them😀.

I would love to have you come go Aroostook County, Maine, in the winter. This is our tourism season due to the amount of snow we get. Snowmobile season, snowshoes, cross country skiing, sliding, ice fishing eith trucks on a lake, etc. It's also the part of Maine that truly sees all 4 seasons!!! ATV, hiking, hunting, fishing, leaf peeping, etc.

Oh wow! I was here last weekend and had lunch at the Shack! I like to call it “Québécois Coney Island.”

[lindaborgert]

My son and I were there over Memorial Day weekend. Had a wonderful time! The Trolley was great!

[maryryea]

I love that you made a video about my favorite spot! My family actually has a seasonal camper at the campground you stayed at! We call it Hid'n Pines, it's original name. In fact, you definitely passed by it since everyone who stays there has to pass it to leave lol

I live in Maine. Took my kids to OOB all the time when they were little. I still go myself, but in May, September, or October. Pier fries are my favorite thing to buy at the beach

Grew up near there and worked at a sunglasses place as a teen / young adult at the base of the Pier. There are quieter beaches just south, (Ferry beach), and north of there, if you want to escape the crowds.

While in Maine maybe you could visit the Botanical gardens in Boothbay Harbor. We go every year and there is always something new. Right now they have giant wooden trolls in the woods.

[yaowsers]

lol right before you mentioned amtrak, i was looking it up. that's an awesome bonus! no driving and you have the option of hopping on to go to bar harbor too!

[clarinetteplayer]

You should definitely hop up to Portland and take the ferry/mail boat out to the islands in Casco Bay. It's beautiful and you can either stay on the boat and do a quick tour, or hop off and explore the islands.

I really recommend travelling to the New Jersey beaches and boardwalks. Not just Atlantic City, but also Cape May, Wildwood, and my favorite place Ocean City. Fun beaches, atmosphere, snacks, mini golf, arcades and amusement park piers. Definitely worth a visit and would be a great video!

Im headed there today!!! Can’t wait to go, I love the Southern Maine seacoast.

[waitasecond]

No way! Finally in my neck of the woods :) I live in OOB! I always order ice cream by the SCOOP because then I know exactly how much I’m getting. ;) Too many child’s head sized ice creams that I couldn’t finish! Funtown/Splashtown is a great place for kids too if you wanna stop by! About 10 mins away. Awesome water slides :) It’s a Maine staple. Taqueria 207 is a DELICIOUS small Mexican Restaurant that I constantly go to!! Try it!!

[rhondapelletier]

Hey from 40 mins away... were you here this week when our temp hit 90 degrees? Lisa's pizza and the pier frie with vinegar are the best

[stephanegosselin]

Great place to go for the whole family!
Thanks for the video

Lived in the area 3 years, so we drove up to the lighthouse couple of times. Love ❤️ it! Thanks 😊, Amy

[jkinnear]

Hope you had a good time in Maine buddy. I know the water is a bit nippy but it was near 90 when you guys were there. You just need to take a run at it and not over think it. 😂 The motel you filmed at 1:21 into the video is the Americas Best Value Inn mount royal. That's where I stayed in OOB. It's basic but clean and has a pool and it's directly across from the beach. It's a shame you didn't get to Ogunquit or Kennebunk but from what you were telling me about your road trip it seemed like you hit alot of places in a very short period. Hope you guys had a great time though.
