As the easternmost state in the continental United States, Maine is also the only one-syllable state, and the only state that borders just one other American state. Its geography makes it ideal for almost any imaginable activity, ranging from hiking and bicycling one of its many trails to ocean kayaking in the Atlantic Ocean. The coastal region of Maine stretches from Kittery to Eastport, and there are many vacation homes near the ocean along the way.
