One of the Top 9 Most Underrated US Towns is This Maine Gem
Sometimes you visit a place that gives you a spark of life and unforgettable moments. These places stay on your radar and are worth another visit, but can also be very underrated. They aren't highlighting or respected enough!
According to a list on Discoverer, Damariscotta, Maine, was named as one of the most underrated towns in the nation. Let's see why.
This town is located in Lincoln County, and is certainly worth a visit! It is just 12 miles from the ocean and offers up all the charms of a midcoastal town. Let's point out the obvious first: this town is the mecca for oysters, according to Schooner Cove.
Let's hit on a couple of my favorite spots in this town. Wildings is always my first stop. It's a beautiful lifestyle boutique that has everything you need to dress up your home or yourself. They've got plants, décor, and unique pieces to add to your home.
Then head on down the road to the cutest old-timey soda shop for a bite to eat! It's called the Waltz Soda Fountain, and it'll take you right back to the fifties!
Damariscotta offers so much quaint charm, making it an unforgettable spot to visit.
If that wasn't enough, take your very own virtual tour of the entire town and soak it in via YouTube.
Whether you're strolling down Main Street for an afternoon or taking in the coastal views, Damariscotta is a town that should undoubtedly be on your must-visit list in Maine!
