A few of our favorite ways to enjoy Downeast Maine

Perfectly sweet, long running farmers market, usually Tuesdays in the morning, but best to check the website and their Facebook page for updates to the 2021 season..Be sure to say hello to Deb at Mandala Farms..Market Day is across the street and is typically open at this time with exceptional baked goods, hand made pastas..http://www.mainefarmersmarkets.org/market/winter-harbor-farmers-market/

Run by one of Maine's conservation and food darlings Roxanne Quimby, Market Day has great pies, cookies, fresh eggs, the best made to order cider doughnuts I've ever had, and great hand made pastas..Get there early for those doughnuts, they run out fast.

Be sure to pack bug spray - there's no getting around the fact that some areas in Down East can get pretty buggy. Also pack sun screen and extra water where ever you go, and don't get too low on gas. Down East Maine is rural, driving distances between commercialized areas can catch you off guard!

Taking the Ferry to Bar Harbor is a beautiful way to go and takes about the same amount of time as driving. Great way to go and explore the town of Bar Harbor! Check out the site for rates and schedules: https://downeastwindjammer.com/activities/bar-harbor-to-schoodicwinter-harbor-ferry/

There are few better ways to experience the Maine coastline than by boat...Sunset sails are always a winner. This is one company that does sails (throughout the day in addition to sunset) on an iconic boat. https://downeastwindjammer.com/activities/schooner-sunset-sail/ For a private sail, or a water tour on a lobster boat, check out Sail Acadia at: https://www.sailacadia.com/

You can obtain necessary licensing for hunting, fishing (including clamming and safe places to clam) at the Gouldsboro Town Office in downtown Prospect Harbor, or via the following website: https://moses.informe.org/cgi-bin/online/moses_v3/index
