How we would fit it into your day
Distances are approximate from downtown Machias. Machiasport, Roque Bluffs, Jonesport, Beals and Jonesboro are separate towns. Great Wass is reached through Jonesport and Beals by bridge and causeway; its exposed trails require preparation. Cutler puffin trips already belong to our Lubec edition and are not duplicated as Machias departures. Automatic days stay in one destination. Confirm the exact visit date and current conditions; no booking is made by this guide.
