Sightseeing
Penobscot Bay is world famous for its sailing and stunning views of the mountains and the surrounding islands. These are smaller boats and you get more attention and a more personal experience. Captain Aaron is great. Sailing out of Camden harbor.

You can walk out on the breakwater in Rockland harbor and walk around the lighthouse at the end. You need good shoes because it can get wet and you are stepping over gaps between the rocks. Not handicapped accessible. Hard for really young children. It would probably take at least an hour round trip. No cost.
