For people who enjoy the finer things of coastal life, from sailing to sea kayaking, seaside concerts to seaside dining, Rockland, Maine just may be the city of your dreams.
The heart of Rockland (pop. 7,600) is its waterfront. The protection provided by Rockland's mile-long granite breakwater makes it one of the finest shipping and boating harbors on the East Coast. The cobblestones of Main Street Rockland evoke its past as a shipbuilding center. Today, downtown Rockland is also a tourist's haven, featuring the nationally recognized Farnsworth Art Museum and Wyeth Center, as well as an array of galleries, unique shops, and restaurants.
Downtown Rockland also features the historic Strand Theatre, offering films and live performances year-round, and the newest edition to the roster of downtown attractions, the Maine Lighthouse Museum, housing one of the most important collections of lighthouse artifacts and Coast Guard memorabilia in the United States.
While Rockland attracts visitors year-round, two festivals, the Rockland Lobster Festival ("steaming" each August since 1947) and the North Atlantic Blues Festival (held in July) bring enthusiastic guests by the thousands.
Unique educational opportunities abound in Rockland, including the Penobscot School, a language school attracting hundreds of adults each year from around the world, and the Apprenticeshop, one of the oldest traditional boatbuilding schools in the country. Maine Media Workshops offers world-class instruction in traditional and new media.
Outlying retail centers and an array of healthcare options make Rockland a key service center of for Maine's Midcoast. The city also benefits from one of the most active chamber organizations in the state, the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Rockland is one of those Maine towns rich in trivia. The city was named for its limestone quarries and is known as "the lobster capital of the world." Rockland was the major location for two feature films: The Man Without a Face (1993) and Beyond the Bedroom (2001), and it is the birthplace of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and composer Walter Piston. Sculptor Louise Nevelson moved here as a young child.
If you're prone to falling in love with Maine, then the next visit to Rockland, Maine could easily turn into a permanent relationship.
