12 Best and Fun Things To Do In North Haven, Maine


TouristWire Editors

This is a unique island community, determined to preserve its natural beauty and maintain a thriving year-round economy. It is situated on Penobscot Bay, 12 miles from Rockland, Maine’s midcoast city. North Haven is resourceful, safe, caring, and inclusive.

Even though North Haven’s picturesque main village and rolling fields have made it a preferred summer destination for some of the country’s wealthiest and most influential families for decades, there are no mansions here. Instead, visitors can expect to find farmhouses and a collection of unusual cottages near Pulpit Harbor, called “Cabotville.”

North Haven also includes a community center, a first-rate art gallery, a small brewery, and a family-operated boatyard that has been around since the late 1800s. It is a fantastic holiday destination for anyone looking to unwind in a gorgeous setting.

Here’s our list of the best and most fun things to do in North Haven, Maine
