A classic New England break

The small town of South Thomaston, due south of Rockland, is a quintessential Maine community on the banks of tidal saltmarshes. As an established fishing and resort town, it's an ideal place to get away from the crowds and enjoy the best that Maine has to offer. Less expensive than other parts of the Maine coastline, but within easy reach of some great activities and stunning scenery, your South Thomaston vacation rental will constitute a memorable experience for the whole family. It offers a peaceful and laidback atmosphere in a classic New England setting by the ocean.

Things to do
