CamdenвЂ™s Long Grain restaurant, one of the stateвЂ™s culinary standouts, stepped up its takeout business in the past few months, so order ahead-the Thai beef appetizer and crab fried rice are two of many delectable choices-and arrange to pick it up curbside well before dusk (20 Washington St., ). Wander around the shops and galleries clustered nearby such as Sugar Tools, a chic general store of sorts with Japanese gardening pruners and French cookbooks (29 Bay View St., ), and Page Gallery showing painter Colin PageвЂ™s vibrant take on local scenes as well as other local artists (23 Bay View St., ). ItвЂ™s a 29-mile shot to Camden and the 16 Bay View inn, an admirably renovated former auto garage with a rare rooftop bar (from $274 a night, ). Those furry boots might come in handy if thereвЂ™s a breeze at your lunch stop, Schooner Landing Restaurant and Marina, where you can slurp Pemaquid oysters at a dockside picnic table (40 Main St., ). In Damariscotta, pop by one of the local outposts of Renys, an only-in-Maine department store that stocks everything from sheepskin-lined boots to breakfast cereal (161 Main St., ). Johnson, a massive Zumwalt-class destroyer, at the pier. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for Bath Iron Works, which has been building warships for the United States Navy since 1893. Treasures tucked away, drive 85 miles further northeast to the town of Damariscotta. At the Wells Union Antique Center, pop into Smith-Zukas Antiques for maritime curios like a morphine box from the 1910 SS Gothic (1755 Post Road, Wells). Properly buzzed, continue north on Route 1 for its three-mile stretch of antique shops. Even if youвЂ™re not the type to devour doughnuts at sunrise, youвЂ™ll want to be there early or risk missing out on the fiendishly popular maple bacon fritters (1090 Post Rd., Wells, ).

Among its crucial charms is CongdonвЂ™s Doughnuts, which opens at 6 a.m. Schooner Landing Restaurant & Marina in Damariscotta.Д¬heck out of your hotel and backtrack slightly on Route 1 to Wells.
