Review:
Picturesque Southport Island is located at the tip of Boothbay Peninsula, connected to the mainland by a swing bridge at Townsend Gut in the Sheepscot River. Here you will find quintessential New England charm – characteristic colonial Cape Cod houses, small country stores, and winding roads just begging to be explored on foot or by bicycle. You can visit lighthouses, do some beach-combing, and explore the beautiful peninsula and the sheltered waters of the Gut by canoe and kayak. Come for a day to picnic and hike or book one of the rental cottages for a truly laidback Maine vacation. Be sure not to miss the fresher-than-fresh lobster and other seafood at Robinson’s Wharf.
