Belfast Area Attractions
Belfast, Maine was listed by Frommer’s Budget Travel as one of the “10 Coolest Small Towns” in the September 2008 issue. They cite the numerous artists of all mediums that have galleries in Belfast as part of Belfast’s coolness.
The Comfort Inn Ocean’s Edge is in the heart of Mid-coast Maine with its jagged coastline, offshore islands, protected harbors and some of the best sailing in the world. In the Belfast area, you’ll find funky shops, museums, flea markets and antique shops. You can unpack here and set a course for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (only 55 miles away), visit the popular seaside towns of Castine, Camden, Rockland or Boothbay Harbor.
