CAMDEN, ME
CAMDEN, MAINE TRAVEL GUIDE | My first summer adventure was in Camden, Maine a few weekends ago. Lark Hotels invited me up to stay at Whitehall. They were hosting an influencer weekend, and I got to meet so many wonderful ladies from all over New England.
Whitehall was such a gorgeous hotel. The interior was so bright, colorful, and fun…and I nearly picked up the gingham sofa and crammed it into the back of my car to take it home, but I restrained myself…
Also…I love the small plates breakfast at Whitehall! You get to try a little bit of everything without feeling too full! After the amazing food, we headed down to the harbor, just a short walk away, for a sailboat cruise on the Schooner Surprise!
Let me tell you, this was some of the most fun I’ve ever had! It was my first time on a sailboat, and it could not have been a better experience. The cruise was a lovely two hours, and our two captains Will and Laird, were full of all sorts of information about the area, the buildings we were passing by, and the boats in the harbor. My favorite part was when the boat tipped at such crazy angles so that you practically had to walk sideways to stay upright! How does one get a job on a sailboat because…I need one.
After the cruise, I parted from the group, and hopped in my car to head further north. I drove as far as I could before I had to turn around to get back to Camden for dinner. I made it to Verona Island, which was beautiful. On the way back, I stopped at Fort Point State Park to see the Fort Point Lighthouse.
The drive made me realize that I want to keep exploring Maine so badly! I was sad that I couldn’t just keep driving and driving till I got to Canada! I see a full Maine coastal road trip in my future, for sure!
And just like that, the weekend was over. I drove back home the next day, but not after making plans with my family to bring some house guests staying with us this summer back up to Camden to take another cruise on the Surprise!
Thank you Lark Hotels for the wonderful stay at Whitehall!
