Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Harpswell?
The best area to stay in Harpswell is the mid-coast region, particularly around the villages of Orr's Island and Bailey Island, for their quintessential Maine coastal experience.

Orr's Island offers a classic New England village feel, with stunning ocean views and easy access to local seafood shacks and small shops. It's connected to the mainland by a short bridge, making it convenient while still feeling secluded. The island is known for its rugged coastline and opportunities for kayaking and exploring tidal pools. It's an excellent choice for couples looking for a peaceful retreat with beautiful scenery.

Bailey Island, just across the iconic Cribstone Bridge from Orr's Island, provides a similar coastal charm but with a slightly more active feel due to its working harbour. Here, you'll find lobster boats, fishing charters, and a selection of local eateries serving fresh catches. The island offers walking trails with magnificent ocean vistas, including the famous Giant's Stairs, a geological formation where waves crash dramatically against the rocks.
