Damariscotta is a charming Midcoast Maine town with a walkable downtown, working waterfront, excellent seafood, galleries, farmers’ markets, trails and easy boating/kayaking—perfect for travel therapists who want relaxed, scenic weeks that still feel engaging and where you can quickly plug into a tight-knit community.
For more variety, nearby Portland offers a bigger-city dining, arts and airport hub, while Brunswick (Bowdoin College) adds lively restaurants, cultural events and easy coastal access for weekend adventures.
