Despite the high costs which are associated with Camden, it is perhaps one of the most perfect coastal towns in the United States. Full of natural beauty, this small town off the coast of Maine is nestled in the Camden Hills, which rise upward of 1,400 feet. The setting is a typical New England atmosphere, with downtown streets boasting fine clothing boutiques, gift and bookstores and handicraft shops and galleries. With a meager population of about 5,000 residents, this is the ideal location for those who enjoy the slower paced lifestyle.
Residents say some of their favorite daytime activities include boat watching and having a picnic.
