Spring’s just beginning, but Victorian Bayside is still charming, even without all the foliage and flowers.
Bayside is a secret Victorian village that’s hidden off of Route One, in Northport, just below Belfast, and above Camden.
Even true Mainers don’t know it’s there.
Bayside started as a Methodist/Episcopalian church camp in the mid 1800’s, and it’s charming Carpenter Gothic architecture is of true historic value.
It’s known for it’s active summer community but that’s gradually changing.
As people are discovering, Gingerbread dresses up the scene, no matter what time of year.
(To get to Bayside, turn onto the road at the very colorful Dos Amigos Mexican restaurant just below Belfast and Little River. Follow the road along the shoreline. You’ll go through the village and eventually come out at Route One near Saturday Cove. It’s about 4 miles along the water.)
