Area Information

Deer Isle is a granite island in Penobscot Bay, approximately 13 miles in length, 21 miles in circumference. A large suspension bridge (WPA project in 1937) connects it to the Blue Hill peninsula. The island is approximately 40 miles from Route 1, 70 miles from I-95.

There are two towns, Deer Isle on the north half, Stonington on the south, with about 4000 year-round residents. Many smaller islands surround Deer Isle, some held in public trust for all to enjoy.

The area accommodates primarily low impact tourism: hiking, sailing, photography, kayaking, painting, nature study.  Many people come just to relax in a quiet setting on the beautiful coast.

Overnight accommodations in our area are limited. Reserve before you come!

There is a wide choice of restaurants from simple crab roll “take-outs” to elegant gourmet dining. Most restaurants are small with the owner/chef on site. Lobster dinners are a must, as these are some of the best lobsters in the world – as fresh as they come.

Christina Tree’s book Maine: An Explorer’s Guide is the best description of our particular area.

For further information explore the Deer Isle Chamber of Commerce and the Maine Tourism web sites.
