Frenchboro

Frenchboro has a population of 38 and is located on 14 small islands in Blue Hill Bay in the Down East region of Maine. Less than a hundred people live here year round and they keep things much as they have been for decades. The island is a favorite stop of yachts and boats.

Get in
Frenchboro is about an 8-mile (12.6 km) (35 minute) ferry ride south from Bass Harbor. Moorings are available for boaters.



Do
The island is a simple place. A 900-acre land parcel has been put into conservation. One can walk the beaches and trails, probably see one of the nearly tame deer that are protected on the island.
