Take the Novelty Ferry to Squirrel Island...
...or take a sail on the Appledore around the harbor. This area is best appreciated by being on the water. If you have a full day - early morning to late afternoon - take the Balmy Days out to Monhegan for hiking and sightseeing. It's breathtaking, and full of rich history and Maine culture.
