Photographer Sara Gray spent a summer capturing the beauty of Maine’s mid-coast peninsulas during the height of the season, working diligently to capture the spirit of these communities so tied to the sea. Please enjoy these stunning photographs of the Maine peninsulas in summer, and see why Maine will always be one of our country’s favorite coastlines.

“Grampy” took our whole family every summer he was alive to Bailey’s Lobster Pound in Pemaquid, ME for lobsters in the rough and ME steamers. He always bought a full peck of clams for us to devour and “all the lobsters we were able to eat, each”!!!!!!!!!! I just loved being there with him. I always remember the ride there as being truly gorgeous. I really love “down east”.
