From scenic beauty to wonderful music and lobster festivals, unique museums, to majestic vessels that will transport you to another time – Mid Coast Maine has it all.
Monhegan Island
Monhegan Island is a small, rocky Island ten miles from the mainland and scarcely a square mile in area. It is accessible only by boat and there are no cars or paved roads on the Island. Since long before the explorer John Smith visited it in 1614, it was known to Native Americans as a prime fishing area, and today its economy is still ruled by those who make their living from the sea, fishing and lobstering. The year-round population has seldom exceeded 65 in recent times. For more than 100 years, Monhegan has been a summer haven for artists and other visitors who appreciate its isolation, the beauty of its wilderness, its quiet relaxed atmosphere, and its unhurried pace.
