Rockland Maine is known for having great ocean waters for sailing and boating, rather it is for pleasure or competitive sport. Rockland Harbor and the lighthouse are protected by a granite breakwater which extents for nearly a mile. Thus, the harbor has become one of the finest recreational and commercial harbors on the East Coast of the United States.

The city has a long history of shipbuilding, granite quarrying, lime processing, commercial fishing and lobstering since the 1850's. Many of the original buildings still line the historic Main Street, which is the center of retail shopping. Rockland takes pride in its past as is demonstrated by the recently restored and enlarged Carnegie library.

Rockland is a great place to visit and explore the natural environment of Midcoast Maine.Your vacation will be enhanced by the mix of historic architecture style in the city and other innovative lodging, dining and activity options.
