Do you usually hear blaring car horns and navigate crowds when you’re outside? If that’s the case, imagine taking a walk in the fresh air and only hearing the sound of seagulls.
If you want to make your dream a reality, plan a visit to Phippsburg, Maine – a small seaside town with a population of just over 2,000 residents. During your stay, meander around the town or head to the local beach to watch the birds, fisherman, and locals who call Phippsburg their home.
Phippsburg, Maine is in the southern part of the state and is about three hours north of Boston, MA.
