12 night mid October coastal road trip advice

Hi everyone,

We're flying into Boston on 12 October and are planning a 12-night coastal road trip up to Bar Harbor before making our way back down to Boston.

We know Bar Harbor will be a little quieter by then, but we're happy to trade the crowds for a more relaxed atmosphere.

Our ideal trip is centred around picturesque coastal towns with great restaurants, bars, places to wander, and scenic sightseeing. We don't mind moving every couple of nights, but we're equally happy to use somewhere as a base and take day trips if that makes more sense.

Our current itinerary is:

  • 3 nights – Portland
  • 2 nights – Bar Harbor
  • 2 nights – Camden
  • 2 nights – Ogunquit or Kennebunkport
  • 3 nights – Boston

We're currently thinking of visiting:

  • Freeport & Brunswick – either as day trips from Portland or on the drive to Bar Harbor
  • Rockport, Rockland & Boothbay Harbor – from our base in Camden
  • Staying in either Ogunquit or Kennebunkport, then taking a day trip to the other
  • Salem – either as a day trip from Boston or on the drive back down

Does this sound like a good plan, or would you recommend changing it? We're completely open to different base towns, adding places we've missed, skipping places that aren't worth the stop, or even reducing it to four bases if that makes for a better trip.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

12 night mid October coastal road trip advice

Hello all landing in Boston 12th Oct and planning on a 12 night road trip up to Bar Harbour and back down to Boston. We are aware it will be slighter quieter up in Bar Harbour but happy to avoid the crowds. We like cosey little towns with good restraunts and bars, and general areas to stroll around and site see, happy to reduce the stopovers to 4 and day drip from certain base camps, but we are also happy with 2 nights in places and moving around does not bother us so much.

I have

Freeport/Brunswick either from Portland or on the way to BH

Rockport/Rockland/Boothbay from Camden
