Known as the 'Lobster Capital of the World', Rockland, Maine has a small town charm and sensibility. Those who visit in late summer gather for the celebrated Maine Lobster Festival, which takes place in late July or early August and brings thousands of lobster lovers to honor the town's top export. Tours of the Maine Lighthouse Museum and Farnsworth Art Museum are other favorite cultural diversions. Rockland is also a departure point for the Maine State Ferry Service to the nearby islands of Penobscot Bay, including Vinalhaven, North Haven and Matinicus.
