Coastal Village Tour Part 2
Gallery
Part one of our tour took us from the southern beaches to South Bristol. This week we pick up on Monhegan Island and continue on to the Canadian border, hitting the town most photographed by Down East readers along the way. In every season, in sunlight, fog, and a shroud of darkness, Stonington’s picturesque working harbor captivates Maine natives and travelers. What is it about this and the other places on our (non-comprehensive!) list that peaks your interest? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts.
