At the southernmost part of Mid-Coast Maine is the picturesque town of Harpswell. Located on one of Maine’s ‘fingers’, Harpswell, with its 216 miles of coastline, is comprised of Orr’s Island, Bailey Island, Great Island, and Harpswell Neck plus over 200 smaller island accessible only by boat. Not far from Brunswick and Freeport, Harpswell is a fishing community with a burgeoning retirement and vacation populace.
Old, white farm houses dot the coast line with rolling hills and the rocky beaches making every turn of a corner another photo opportunity. With some of the few remaining working harbors on the Maine coast, it offers an authenticity of which local residents are proud.
Looking for some Maine lobster? Take a walk down to any number of docks to get the freshest of the fresh shellfish off one of the many ‘lobster pounds’ nearby. You haven’t tasted lobster until you have picked yours out off a boat that has just returned from sea!
Harpswell is that rare spot in Maine that offers a wide range of waterfront real estate – at relatively affordable prices. In the communities of Cundy’s Harbor, Bailey Island and Orr’s Island you will also find a wonderful collection of artisans, craft makers, florists, stores and shops of many kinds – which will satisfy most all your needs. More traditional shopping and dining needs can be met in nearby Brunswick.
