We took the ferry over to Monhegan Island, just for the day though I would have gladly missed the ferry back to the mainland. Picture this: A charming, weathered artist colony, a small village comprised of saltbox cottages and sleepy summer bungalows. Intricate trails (sometimes footpaths) meander through dense, New England woods, a trail system curated by numbers that you follow on the tiny island map given to you on the ferry ride over.
