History lingers in Freeport’s small town atmosphere. In an area of beautiful beaches, hills and brooks, you’ll find surprises like the large sand dunes of The Desert of Maine (open early May-mid October), or the 1783, Barn Museum that has a World Sand Collection and marked nature trails.
Annually, an estimated 2.5 millions shoppers visit Freeport’s factory outlets and shops that include L.L. Bean, a world renown sporting store that is open 24 hours.
Besides shopping, harbor cruises or whale and seal watching trips are available. Other outdoor activities include hiking through innumerable trails, sailing, kayaking, and canoeing.
A stay in one of Freeport’s bed and breakfast lodgings will be memorable. Several are 19th century mansions set in expansive landscapes with old-world charm. Breakfast is often included and is fabulous. Rooms are available with private balconies, fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. Often, the amenities include comfortable beds with homemade quilts and attached bath(some provide organic soap), coffee makers, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, individual temperature controls for heating and air-conditioning and cable TVs.

They often provide free newspapers, free local and credit card calls and free parking, Internet services, outdoor pools and play areas are often available as well. At certain places, a welcome bottle of wine or a box of chocolates is given.
