Maine coastal waters are some of the most pure and pristine in the world. The combination of rocky coast and strong wave action help keep this purification process in check. This is one reason why lobster from Maine are the sweetest and best tasting in the world. Today, lobster populations in Maine appear to be the highest in years. Most people are unaware that the jagged coast of Maine has more coastline miles than the states of Florida and California combined.
Maine is a large state, about the same size as the Commonwealth of Virginia.
But due to the irregular outline of the coast, it would extend from Eastport, Maine to Miami, Florida if unzipped.
