Savor Spruce Head's sedate pace of life
Jutting out into the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, about halfway down Maine's rugged coast, Spruce Head is the quintessential Eastern Seaboard waterfront community. Pick a Spruce Head vacation rental for your next getaway, and you can look forward to laid-back days exploring gently bustling fishing harbors, unspoiled sandy beaches, towering lighthouses and charmingly old-fashioned villages replete with dazzling white clapboard houses. Family-run restaurants will make you feel right at home, with warm welcomes and mouthwatering local specialties like buttery lobster rolls and deep-filled wild blueberry pies. Should you feel like exploring further afield, the vibrant resort towns of Camden and Rockport are a short drive or bracing bike ride away.

Activities
Seafaring adventures at Spruce Head
Spruce Head's seafaring culture may well inspire you to take to the open water yourself. Rent a canoe or kayak and explore the coast's dramatic scenery and secluded bays at your leisure. If that sounds too much like hard work, join a sightseeing cruise and focus instead on acquiring the perfect set of vacation photos. If you're interested in local industry, embark on a lobstering tour, and learn all about how the seafood delicacy is harvested. Meanwhile shopaholics should make a beeline for chic Camden, where you'll find an irresistible array of independent fashion boutiques, gourmet food shops and quirky homeware stores.
Weather
Lovely summers in Spruce Head
While this corner of Maine is fairly tranquil at all times of year, Spruce Head vacation rentals are particularly sought-after between June and August. The summer weather is generally warm rather than uncomfortably hot, with plenty of clear blue skies and sunshine. Late spring and early fall are also great times to visit, with pleasantly mild days and fewer out-of-towners. The winter cold serves as a deterrent to many vacationers, but frequent snowfall provides plenty of natural beauty.
Natural features
Encounter playful puffins around Spruce Head
Spruce Head is a gateway to the scenic Penobscot Bay, a true natural wonder scattered with 100s of islands. The biggest of these are rustic fishing communities where an old-fashioned way of life prevails – many more are uninhabited, so you may find that you have their picturesque pebble beaches, verdant wetlands and fragrant forests entirely to yourself. Maine's ocean islands are also the only nesting sites in the entire United States for Atlantic puffins. If you're visiting between May and August, be sure to hop on a boat trip in search of these impossibly cute, orange-beaked seabirds.
