After a long winter of being stuck inside, we have our hearts set on enjoying some of the best things Maine has to offer this spring and summer. While that might look a bit different this year, there are a few things that look to be re-appearing as planned. Little-by-little drive-in movie theaters are announcing their opening days and we can’t wait to enjoy some entertainment without having to enter a packed theater.

If you could see any movie at a drive-in this summer, what would it be? We’d have to go with Ghostbusters, one of the best summer blockbusters ever released! And if simply taking in the scenery of the state is enough of a show for you, we have a great summer destination in mind for you. Voted one of the best beaches in the country, Gooch’s Beach in Maine is a gorgeous bucket list spot.
