We are a busy working wharf nestled in the community of Milbridge, overlooking the Narrraguagus Bay, located on the bold coast of Maine. Our business prides itself on our families heritage and passing on the traditions of several generations. We sell our daily catch of live Maine lobster and other sea bounty. Come visit us at the wharf for a wicked good downeast experience!

We stopped by and were happily welcomed by a wealth of local knowledge and a great variety of fresh seafood to pick up and take home. It is not a restaurant, but a seafood market. Very clean. First time trying "Pickeled Wrinkles"..funny name but they are Whelks (sea snails) that are marinated in vinegar and sea salt. Not for everyone, but I liked them! Haddock in the area is not local, but comes from Canada. Salmon is the local fish, and of course a wealth of Lobster and clams. Surprising to find some very good seaweed salad there also!

A National Scenic Byway that starts in Hancock Maine and proceeds along US route 1 through Sullivan where scenic look outs are located. You than turn onto Route 186 in Gouldsboro and proceed into Winter Harbor where the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park is located. The byway ends in Prospect Harbor where the last Sardine factory in the US was located.

This scenic hiking trail winds around a tiny cove.
Reviewed By danihawk - New York City, United States
This trail was a highlight of my visits to Acadia because it's a short, fun hike/nature walk that offers minimal effort, maximum payoff on the gorgeous landscapes that make the area so unique. It's a few minutes from Bass Harbor Lighthouse, and my husband and I were able to do both in one morning without even having to get up early. We probably arrived around 10am and didn't have any trouble finding parking. You pass through beautiful woods and a lake before hitting the ocean and tide pools. We ran into maybe 10 other families on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend, but it was still a great place to find some peace away from the crowds around Ocean Trail and Jordan Pond. I'd love to visit again in late spring/early summer when more wildflowers are blooming.

This 500-foot ship is the training location of the Maine Maritime Academy.
Reviewed By robertsobkow - Northfield, United States
A tour of the ship is worth the time. Interesting to see where the cadets bunk and the functional sections of the ship such as the mess deck and the various training rooms.

Interesting . To see it up close, you need to take the boat trip out. We did the Acadian Boat Tours 2 hour tour, with tickets available downtown at the Sea-Dawg gift shop. We saw two young Bald Eagles plus a lot of seals, harbor porpoises on our boat tour.
