The Maine Coast Guide is the web's definitive reference to every aspect of Maine's magnificent coast—its beauty, its challenges, its people and communities, and its businesses.

The Maine Coast Guide's "By Sea" perspective is built on Maine's premier cruising guide, A Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast. Its readership constitutes some Maine's most privileged visitors and residents. Each guide references this site for updates and fact-checking. Your link or advertisement on these pages will give you exposure to clientele who respect the coast, love all things marine, and who need your services. The Maine Coast Guide covers the coast by land, too, exploring every narrow peninsula and outport, to bring precise information to new visitors and residents alike. Finally, future plans call for expansion into exploring the coast by air, with complete general aviation information.

This is a content-driven site. It is as complete and accurate as possible, and it is actively managed to keep it that way. Visitors are attracted to it for its beauty, but more importantly for its information. They come here looking for answers, and looking for business that can help them.

That requires your participation. We want to direct potential customers to your site, your phone, and your place of business. To encourage as many participants as possible, link and advertising rates are kept to a bare minimum. Please contact Diamond Pass Publishing by phone or fax (207-766-2337) or e-mail regarding link and banner advertising rates.
