The Blue Hill Peninsula encompasses the towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry and serves as the gateway to Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and Stonington. Blue Hill is the largest town and is the region’s service center. The landscape here is marked by sweeping views of the blueberry barrens and the sea. Tucked in among the ridges, valleys and the jagged coastline, you’ll find adventure of all kinds, from a day on the water and an evening of live music to a solitary morning walk and an afternoon of gallery tours and shopping.
You’ll find our communities to be diverse, independent yet interconnected. In all of these places, you may strike up a conversation with a lobsterman, boatbuilder or sailor who knows these waters like the back of his hand. In all of these places, you will find locally sourced food and highly skilled craftspeople and artists. In all of these places you will find evidence of the resourcefulness, dry wit and creativity that has defined our region’s culture for centuries.
This region was settled in the mid 1700’s, its early economy centered around ship building and quarrying. Lumbering, lobstering, fishing and farming have played an important role in our economy and culture since the earliest days. By the late 1800’s the region had become a summer destination. Today, many of these industries coexist with a thriving art, music and food scene to create this unique place called The Blue Hill Peninsula.

Schoodic Point, located at the southern tip of Schoodic Peninsula in Winter Harbor, Maine, provides one of the best places to view pounding surf during rough seas as well as stunning views of Cadillac Mountain to the West. It is also one of the best places to view diabase dikes. These are large veins of dark basalt that forced their way through the older granite along the Schoodic shoreline. Both the older granite, and the much darker basalt, are igneous rocks that were formed from the cooling of magma during past volcanic activity. The contrast between these two can easily be seen throughout the peninsula. You may have noticed this in the thousands of boulders on the shoreline as well. https://acadiamagic.com/schoodic-point.htm

The town of Sedgwick was incorporated in 1798 and named after Major General Robert Sedgwick who ousted the French from neighboring Castine. Early settlers found the land more suitable to grazing, quarrying and logging, due to the long, rocky ridge that runs between the Bagaduce river and Salt Pond. Today, blueberry barrens dot the landscape, offering scenic views. Sedgwick is home to what is arguably one of the most photographed views in the state of Maine. Caterpillar Hill affords a sweeping vista across blueberry fields to Penobscot Bay and Camden in the west, south to Isle au Haut, and east to Jericho Bay.

Surry is situated on the west bank of the Union River bay, in Hancock County. On the north-east it is bounded by Ellsworth, on the south-west, by Blue Hill, on the west by Orland and Penobscot. Toddy Pond forms part of the boundary between Surry and Penobscot, and on the line between Surry and Ellsworth are the two Patten ponds whose outlet is Patten Stream. Fishways were constructed to connect these ponds in 1872, and have since been stocked with alewives and salmon. Every year in late spring, alewives return to Patten Bay and can be seen from the town landing making their way up a man made fish passage to Patten Stream to reach their freshwater spawning grounds from the sea.

Stonington is a town on the southern half of Deer Isle, an island located about two-thirds the way up the Maine coast. First settled by Native Americans around 5,000 years ago, and then by Europeans in the 1600s, human life on the island has always been rooted in a strong connection with the surrounding environment. People have made their living off the land in one way or another since they’ve been here, and it continues to this day, with the fishing industry being well-represented along Stonington’s waterfront.
Stonington is the gateway to the Merchant’s Row archipelago, one of the largest clusters of islands in the country. Natural beauty abounds in this corner of the world, tucked away on the very end of a remote peninsula, lending Stonington a secret-garden feel. Hiking trails snake into the island and along the shore, the smell of salt and pine pervades throughout, and a unique blend of a creative economy and an industrial economy help create a multi-faceted culture. 19th century buildings line the narrow and winding streets of downtown, enhancing the feeling of being transported back in time.
Stonington’s identity is that of a year-round working town, a fishing town, an artist’s enclave, a nature-lovers paradise, and a place with a well-preserved, traditional way of life.

Winter Harbor, Maine, a classic Down East fishing village in Hancock County in the U.S., got its name for the harbor not freezing over in winter. For obvious reasons, this made it a much desired port for the local fishermen and today, it still has a fully active fleet of lobster boats and scallop draggers.
Originally part of the town of Gouldsboro, it separated and became incorporated in 1895. The year 2010 census placed its year-round population at 516. This is almost a 48% drop in year-round population when compared to the 2000 census and can directly be attributed to the closing of a naval facility in 2002 when the population dropped almost instantly to 492.
