Monhegan Island, ME
Long a favorite retreat for artists and writers, Monhegan Island is far enough off the beaten path to remain relatively undisturbed by tourism and commercial development.
Even though it is only 9 miles southwest of the ferry landing in Port Clyde and little more than a dozen miles from the moorings at Tenants Harbor, the island never seems to attract more than a few sailors and a scattering of rough-clad day hikers who quickly blend in with the island’s fishers and summer resident painters. They disappear along the island’s 17 miles of mapped trails to imposing outlooks and quiet glens or they are off to visit the rustic studios of some 20 professional artists who regularly display their works here.

Belfast, Maine, should be on your list of places to visit. And don't let winter discourage you. It may just be the best time of year. Community leadership and foresight for achieving distinction are evident in this latest Waterway Guide Preferred Destination.
Boaters have always been drawn to the remarkable sailing, cruising and comfort of summertime along the Maine coast. Belfast is at the north end of Penobscot Bay at the mouth of the short Passagassawakeag River in a comfortably navigated harbor. Moorings await and there are some quiet spots to drop an anchor if that's your fancy.
