Did you know that Campobello Island is part of the two-nation vacation area promotion?
Lubec Maine is just across the bridge and you could easily visit both in one day.
Come for a visit...but stay for awhile...there's so much to see and do or just relax.
Here are a few but certainly not all of the events for Summer 2014 for Campobello and the surrounding area.
