Frenchman Bay, ME
Frenchman Bay, ME
Frenchman Bay is 4 miles wide, 10 miles long and easy to navigate, and it offers dramatic views of Mount Desert and the bluffs of the Schoodic Peninsula to the east.
A group of islands with deep channels between them cuts across the bay about halfway up, creating shelter for the upper bay.
It is a spectacular run up the bay along sea-washed cliffs past Thunder Hole (where you can hear the surf crashing against the rocks at the right tidal stage), Sand Beach (behind Old Soaker) and great inland mountains.

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.
