This shop has a fun and interesting range of items, including a really nice adult and childrens' book section with books by local and regional authors. The stock ranges from bags and hats to local arts & crafts to home goods and beyond; it's very much worth a visit. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great trail hike for kids. Tote roads, for the most part, which are old woods/logging roads wide enough for vehicle back when. Good periwinkle shell beach combing both on Allen's Cove and the small island reachable at lower tides and this area has some rare sea lavender plants. LOOK only. Good beachcombing and great views on Eastern Beach. This trail system is basically a 'lollipop' where the sucker is a loop, which includes walking on the rocky beach at the north end, between Allen's Cove and Eastern Beach, with the 'stick' being the almost straight entry and exit trail/road. This NEW section, from 10 to 3 on the clock, making the Y into a circle, is NOT YET marked online and on their PDF maps as of this date. There is a boggy single-file access trail that winds from the small parking lot across the Harriman Point Road to the nexus of the private properties driveways which branch off the end of Tinkers Lane. I suppose you could walk the Lane, to access, too. This is a boggy and wet area off to the left of the lollipop stick for almost all its length. In September, we were still running the gauntlet with mosquitos; cannot imagine May and June....! Bug repellant is a MUST. Trails are well marked, except that you get only one sign on the beach at the ends of the trails as they dump out onto the rocky beach. But, you won't miss them, unless there is dense fog... or you are in a fog. They have trash barrels at the ends of the currently mapped arms of the Y on the map, so be sure to pick up any plastic trash that washes up and deposit there, please. Like most of these kinds of Preserves in Maine, they DO allow hunting, so be sure to wear blaze orange when it is hunting season - rabbit, deer, turkey, duck, etc.
