As the easternmost state in the contiguous US, Maine knows how to do a sunrise. Want to see one over a beautiful bay? We’ve got that. From a gorgeous mountain, instead? We’ve got that, too! Oh, you’d prefer to see one while you sip coffee on your moored sailboat? Yep, we’ve even got that. Check out these beautiful sunrises in Maine and think about skipping the snooze button more often.

And York, don’t think we didn’t notice that you took up three spots on our list. Either York has the most photogenic sunrises in Maine, or the York photographers are the earliest risers.
