farmers markets and co-ops
supporting local farmers and artists
This is a year round indoor market with an HUGE sitting area with a great view of the park and the ocean. Sitting with friends or alone is encouraged but if you want to socialize more you can play ping pong and other games in the room next door. The vendors offer high quality local food and hand crafted items.
Belfast United Farmers Market
This is Belfast's Friday farmers market which is outside during the summer and inside Aubuchon Hardware during the winter. Fresh local food and artisans, what more do we need!?
Belfast Farmers' Market
This is the biggest park in Belfast and it's on the ocean, so along with tennis, pickleball, a playground and pool you can also just chill on the rocky beach!
Belfast City Park
This is a superb botanical garden…beautiful, full of variety, wheelchair accessible, fun, whimsical, colorful and interesting!
Maine's Botanical Garden
With cafe seating, ready-to-go food as well as fresh produce and shelf stable food and household supplies, you can socialize AND do all your shopping! This is also in the heart of Belfast, just two blocks from the ocean and several parks to enjoy you...
Belfast Community Co-op
Food trucks
I go to this place so frequently they know my name, and I had to change my order because they knew that too ;-) (the rueben, I never tire of it!). The food is fresh, the view of Sears Island and the outer islands is wonderful from the large parking area. You can sit on picnic tables, watch the seagulls and beach combers as well as lobster boats. They stop taking orders at 5:45 sharp to make sure to get there on time!
Bricks-N-Sticks Searsport, ME
Two great food trucks are located at a great organuc market in Rockport. One specializes in Mexican food, the other in burgers.

food, fun and frolic
The Harbor walk will take you along the shore to the bridges, where you see people, thriving businesses and great events. Keep walking and you will be on a gravel trail (that used to be a railroad track) with minimal rise in elevation, over a bridge,...
Harbor Walk
The food in the photos is actually what the food you are served looks like, and it's GOOD! I no longer go to restaurants unless they can offer a quality of food I don't treat myself to at home, and this place is it! The food is fresh, high quality and oh so tasty! Also, the atmosphere is really pleasant, very bright with friendly staff. There is also a place to eat outside. Since this place...
Bell the Cat
This is a very sweet library in the heart of Belfast. The ceilings in the old section are high and the architecture is unique. There are lots of places to sit (including comfy chairs) as well as long tables if you need to spread out. Staff is helpful...
Belfast Free Library
Talk about a local favorite! This is in the heart of Belfast, just a block from the water. The food is great and the atmosphere friendly…definitely vibing on local customers but welcoming to newbies. It can get very loud so if you need a quite place ...
Rollie's Bar and Grill
This is a sweet theater with three screens. The seats are slightly high back for better comfort, the staff is friendly and since it's located in the heart of Belfast you can easily park in one spot, go out to eat and walk to the theater in as little ...
Colonial Theatre
Reny's, “a Maine adventure”….it's a department store without appliances and without the high prices. I have been going to the Belfast Renys for over 20 years and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful. I think they must treat their staff very...
Reny's Department Store
This is lovely restaurant! The building itself is sweet. The food is locally grown and very good! It's incredibly popular for breakfast get-togethers! It's located very close to Bayside so why not go out to eat, then head to the shore for a little be...
The Hoot
What else can I say except that in walking this trail you will feel you are in northern Maine, it's beatiful!
Little River Community Trail - Perkins Rd Traihead
I have made the drive to John's (25 minutes from my home) simply to get an ice cream cone…yeah, it's that good! Just go….it's made there and the flavors are amazing,…it's worth the drive, plus you can go to Lake St. George to eat it in the park or sw...
John's Ice Cream Factory
This is a great place to socialize with friends, basically be “on the water” and have great food (and very frequently listen to great live music!).
Three Tides
This is a sweet theater converted from an old church. They often have musicians performing in the “basement” on Thursdays (check out the website to confirm). This is a local theater group who perform unique, thoughtful and fun productions.
Belfast Maskers Community Theater in Belfast, Maine
This is the largest uninhabited island in Maine, and it's free to walk on all the trails. While it has lots of trails, you could use a wheelchair on the one road which goes almost to the other end. No cars or other vehicles are allowed except for mai...
Sears Island
This is a well run sanctuary (with two locations, Belfast and Unity). They describe themselves best so here's a quote from their website:
"Founded in 2001, Peace Ridge Sanctuary runs the largest animal shelter and sanctuary system on the eastern se...
