One of my favorite places in the world. Like going back in time! Doable in a day or 1/2 day trip. 1.5 hour ferry ride each way from Monhegan boat in Port Clyde. Ask me for a suggested 1/2 day trip to get some hiking, views, shipwreck and craft beers!

Food scene

Very close to the cottage. Great for food and beverage. Kid friendly with a small playground and picnic tables. Indoor and outdoor seating. Down the hill is the “Saloon” which offers appetizers and sometimes live music. The “saloon” is more of an adult scene. Chicken Alfredo is delicious!

Very close to cottage! Take out, small seating options, and meals in the cooler to go. Burger Thursday’s, and fried chicken Sunday’s. Follow them on Instagram or Facebook for specials. Order very early (they will let you order in advance) the good specials sell out fast! I saw one day fish sandwiches sold out in 42 minutes after opening!
