If you want to get out on the water, please bring your own kayak or canoe, or rent one nearby. Then paddle across to Mayo Point for a picnic, or enjoy a peaceful sunset trip as the sky glows over the harbor. Surrounded by Maine’s natural beauty, it’s the perfect way to slow down and unwind.

Today, it’s home to a proud community of lobstermen and one of Maine’s most picturesque harbors.
