Just 10 miles off the mainland, Monhegan Island is home to an incredible seasonal artists' colony and stunning natural attractions worth a day trip from Tenants Harbor. You can catch a boat from nearby Port Clyde to the little village here to check out the art museum, housed in an old lighthouse keeper's cottage that is on the National Register of Historic Places, and pop into studios and galleries where local artists create and display their works each summer. Elsewhere around the island, you'll discover the beauty that inspires these creators, from flower-filled meadows and balsam fir woods, to soaring, rocky sea cliffs.
The Mid Coast of Maine is known for its picture-perfect lighthouses and Tenants Harbor is the perfect place to see the sights. Head to the Maine Lighthouse Museum, a few miles up the coast in Rockland, to map out your excursion and learn more about the maritime heritage here. Then it's off to snap photos at spots like Owls Head Light, build in 1852, and Marshall Point Lighthouse, which has been featured on the big screen. Though you can reach many of these scenic beacons by car, boat tours in the bay also offer an incredible way to see the lights.
There's nothing like spending a warm summer day in Maine on the deck of a boat, looking out to watch the sunbeams dancing on the waves and spotting picturesque lighthouses and cute puffins along the shore in the distance. If you've snagged a Tenants Harbor vacation rental near the water, you'll be able to spend cool mornings outside, wrapped up in a blanket with a warm cup of coffee, watching the boats bobbing in the distance. The hottest parts of summer average temperatures in the low 70s, so keeping a rain jacket and sweater handy when taking off on outdoor expeditions is always a good idea.
Thanks to its coastal location, the area around Tenants Harbor holds a world of natural delights, which you can explore at spots like Camden Hills State Park. A climb up Mount Battie leads to panoramic views over the island-dotted West Penobscot Bay and occasional glimpses of Acadia National Park's Cadillac Mountain when the skies are clear. There are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and birds while hiking, and horseback riding too, and come winter, the trails turn into snowshoeing and skiing paths. After a long day enjoying the abundant nature, it's just a short drive back to your Tenants Harbor vacation rental to rest up for the next adventure.
