Eastport is known as the easternmost city in the continental U.S. and consists entirely of small islands connected to the mainland by a causeway.   Eastport’s harbor remained ice-free year-round which helped it to become one of the most industrial fishing ports in Maine; operating as many as 13 sardine factories at its peak.

Today, though fishing is still the primary industry; vacationers find Eastport a beautiful and fascinating place to visit.  Tourists can find a variety of accommodations from hotels to family camping, great restaurants, cafes, and eateries serving the best seafood fare, and wonderful shops that sell Maine-made products like Shell Art and Porcupine Quill Baskets.

For the sports enthusiast your opportunities include: sailing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, beachcombing, golfing, whale watching and more.
