How we would fit it into your day
Plan from downtown Rockland and keep each day focused on one destination. Thomaston, South Thomaston, Cushing and St. George are separate towns; Port Clyde and Tenants Harbor are villages in St. George. Check museum closures and actual boat departures. The breakwater has uneven granite and no railings; lighthouse grounds access does not include a tower tour. No Monhegan ferry trip is automatically included.
Before you go
This shore-side stop does not include walking the breakwater. Check park access, weather and posted rules; winter footing can be difficult.
