Review & FAQ:
Damariscove Island is an uninhabited island located around 5 nautical miles from Boothbay Harbor in Lincoln County. This tiny island is only 2 miles long and less than a half-mile wide and is perfect to explore on foot on a warm summer day. The only way to get to this historic island (Damariscove was the first island to be inhabited by European fishermen back in the 1600s) is by private boat – fortunately, boat rentals are available in Boothbay Harbor. Once you reach Damariscove Island, you can spend the day exploring around 3 miles of hiking trails, have a beach picnic, and spend some time bird watching – the island is a haven for numerous species of sea birds. Don’t miss the tiny museum, which explains the island’s history.
