Prepare yourself for some of the best lobster you have ever tasted. Stonington, the fishng village at the southern tip of the Island, is one of the most vibrant lobstering harbors in the area.
Take your time and don't sqeeze too many things into one day. People here live their lives by the tides, the seasons, etc....and so should you while you are here.
Take a tour of the Deer Isle village art galleries. The island is home to the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts -- a world class workshop for artists -- and their works are often on display in galleries around the Island
Take a trip to Stonington to explore this historic fishing village. You can watch the boats roll in with the day's catch...and then eat that catch in one of the harborside restaurants
don't miss a trip to Isle Au Haut -- a short boat ride from Stonington. You cannot take a car out to Isle Au Haut so prepare for a day of walking around what is actually a small part of Acadia National Park.
Be sure to do a day of sea kayaking around the Island. there are many local guides who can take you out on some of the most serene and nature-filled water trails you have ever dreamed of. There is something spectacular about being so low to the water and feeling the sea beneath you -- certainly a welcome change from sitting on a faux Herman Miller chair in front of your computer screen all day!
