One of Maine’s 16 Counties Named Among Most Beautiful in Nation

There's a certain point during every spring where a switch seems to flip in Maine. Where people all agree to put the winter behind them and focus on what is to come. Bright sunshine, longer days and lots of people passing through.

For some counties in Maine, the change is more dramatic. Beach towns awaken with a flood of part-time residents, seasonal restaurants and shops come to life and the quiet rivers and trails suddenly become a whole lot more busy.

If you're native to Maine, it's pretty difficult to pick one county that stands out from the rest. If you're a travel site, the decision didn't seem that challenging.
