Review:
Deer Isle is located in Penobscot Bay, off the Blue Hill Peninsula, and offers a haven for all outdoor enthusiasts, artists, photographers, and explorers. You can reach the island by road from the mainland by crossing a towering bridge built back in 1939 – just beyond the beach you will find the visitors center, manned by enthusiastic locals who can provide maps, trails, and details of local events. In addition to spending your time admiring the natural splendor of the island, there are also many galleries and studios to visit – Deer Isle has long attracted artists and crafters. Other attractions include the Deer Isle Granite Museum and the Stonington Opera House.
