Located at the top of Penobscot Bay, off the coast of Searsport, Sears Island is unique in that it is the largest uninhabited island on the U.S. East Coast which is accessible via a causeway. Although there have been many attempts to develop the island, thus far sanity has prevailed and the island has been preserved in its natural state. Visitors can access Sears Island via the causeway and spend a wonderful day exploring miles of shoreline and a handful of walking/hiking trails. There is plenty of wildlife to observe and a host of fun recreational activities including beach combing, swimming, kayaking, biking, hiking and trail running in summer and cross-country skiing and snow mobiling in winter.
