Somes Sound. ME
Somes Sound. ME
Considered the only true fjord on the North American east coast, Somes Sound begins its dramatic 6-mile cleavage into the heart of Mount Desert Island at the busy channel off Clark Point, the tip of the peninsula that separates Southwest Harbor from the sound. Throughout most of the sound’s length, 600 to 800-foot hills ease down to the water’s edge and beyond. Mountains of substantially greater size add grandeur to an awe-inspiring landscape and seascape.

Boating Destinations near the Somes Sound. ME
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.
