Stonington Village

Reviewed By R291TVbrianm - Newburyport, United States

Spectacular, timeless fishing village with a smattering of artisans and service providers located in one of Maine's most classic coastal settings. This is the real "Maine". Having lived for twenty plus years in Portland Maine and then moved away, I can vouch that there are few places more quintessential Maine than Stonington. This is a hardscrabble fishing island. At one time granite harvesting was also an industry but that has faded away and what's left is a QUIET tourist destination mixed with locals who live off the sea and/or their artistic talents. This is an eclectic place where mother nature is in charge. The harbor of Stonington is littered with lobster boats and wharfs where fishermen still offload their catch. Nothing moves fast in this town and that's part of the charm. Hundreds of tiny islands dot the harbor and Deer Isle Thoroughfare that sits just off shore. This is the real Maine. Timeless. Genuine. Unhurried. Interesting. If you want shopping and tourist driven entertainment, look elsewhere. If you want to kick back, sip coffee, stroll around, smell the salt air, maybe paddle amongst the islands or hike along the shoreline of Barred Island....then by all means put this on your bucket list.

Historic RIverfront Shopping district designated by the National Park Service in 1980.

Reviewed By quilterlady83 - Ocala, United States

This quaint lil town now has a new quilt shop that is located on the corner. What a great find for Quilters! It’s within walking distance to a parking lot or park along the street. The corner it’s on, has 4 way stop signs vs any street lights so that’s a little challenging. This quilt shop is awesome as is Reny’s nearby and the Raggamuffins Thrift Shop. I noticed the Village Jeweler is no longer there and that’s disappointing. Several places to eat nearby! Shops have front sidewalks. It would be nice to see more shops here.
