Review:
Squirrel Island (named for its shape) is a closely guarded secret escape located off Boothbay Peninsula. You can reach the island by private boat or take the Balmy Days Scenic Harbor Tour, which leaves from Boothbay Harbor. The island has no restaurants or stores, so it’s a good idea to bring along some drinks and snacks. You can walk around the perimeter of the island to discover beautiful beaches and coves or head off into the interior to explore the wooded southeastern section of the island. There are beautiful views of the Boothbay Peninsula from just about everywhere on Squirrel Island as well as plenty of lovely places to rest and have a picnic.
