Review:
Bailey Island is located in Casco Bay off the coast of Maine, forming part of the coastal town of Harpswell. On this remote island, you can find the true essence of coastal Maine as you explore endless coastal pathways, hiking trails, beaches, working coves, harbors, and inlets. Mackerel Cove is probably one of the prettiest harbors in Maine, offering the sight of dozens of lobster boats. Apart from exploring the island on foot, you can go diving, kayaking, fishing, sailing, and cycling or join a lobster boat tour. You can take a day trip from Portland to Bailey Island with Casco Bay Lines, or drive there from the mainland across the unique and historic Bailey Island Bridge. Stock up on classic Maine souvenirs at Land’s End Gift Shop and feast on the freshest-ever lobster at Cook’s Lobster and Ale House.
