This broad swath of rocky shoreline and rolling countryside
is dubbed the Heart of Coastal Maine for a good reason. Watch
lobstermen hauling their traps or walk up the hill one block
to the downtown and stop into the mom-and-pop businesses on
every corner where you can find home-baked goods and some local
art. Well-known for its exceptional crafts and antiques, Belfast
is also home to the Bearfest, where dozens of fiberglass bears
decked out in wild designs line the downtown streets.
Belfast Harbor begins at the mouth of the Passagassawakeag
River and stretches SE into West Penobscot Bay. The City Landing
lies at the bottom of the hill at the foot of Main Street.
The center of the city is a short walk and very scenic with
its historic buildings and views of the Bay. The shores of
Belfast Harbor have many large areas open to the public for
walks, picnics, etc. For the transients who come here, Belfast
is known for its convenience, hospitality, community spirit,
beautiful historic houses and buildings, and scenery.
