...Lobster Tales. Rockland, Maine, where the Maine Lobster Festival is held each summer, is the self-appointed lobster capital of the world. To that end, four Rockland inns have banded together to offer a Lighthouses, Lobster and Luxury package through June 30: you'll get a tour of the local lighthouse museum, a trip aboard Captain Jack's lobster boat and a $50 certificate to a local restaurant to sample that day's catch.

Rates start at $55 per night, including breakfast. Isle of Jura, Argyll, Scotland...
