Deer Isle, Maine offers you so much in such a small area! When you cross the bridge over the Reach, you'll experience a coastal, Down East island. I recommend you start your day with a drive around the island to view the many coves and inlets, dotted with lobster trap buoys, small boats, islands, and an occasional kayaker. Take a picnic lunch on one of the picturesque hiking trails and view the water while you eat. You might not see another person on your hike!
Then, spend the afternoon in the village of Stonington to view the lobster boats as they bring in their catch, and browse in the galleries and gift shops. Many of the country's best artisans have settled on the island. Or, visit Isle au Haut, an island south of Deer Isle, accessible only by boat. Most of the land on Isle au Haut is part of Acadia National Park, and the hiking trails there are wonderful!
Wonderful local seafood and organically-raised poultry and vegetables will fill your dinner table at one of the local restaurants.
The next morning, take a guided kayak tour or a sailboat charter, each of which will give you a water viewpoint of Deer Isle and many of the small islands that surround Deer Isle.
