 Additional information about surrounding area and attractions:
Georgetown is actually one of Maine’s larger islands, with almost 83 miles of rugged coastline, and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. The island has a general store, a post office, a church, three excellent restaurants, several art galleries, a gourmet farm market, and a lobster wharf that serves seafood in the “rough”. The wharf also sells live lobsters and clams that you can cook at the cottage. Georgetown Pottery, one of the best pottery shops in Maine, is located on the island a short drive from the cottage. The quaint small city of Bath is twenty minutes away with many intriguing establishments in the downtown area, including antique shops, a variety of boutiques and specialty stores, a farmer’s market, and many good restaurants. Bath is a world famous shipbuilding city and is host to the Maine Maritime Museum. The museum includes a restored working boatyard, many wonderful maritime exhibits and a vintage sailing ship. The museum offers boat rides on the Kennebec River as well as "lighthouse lovers" and picnic cruises that include excursions into the ocean. For golfers, Bath has a 18 hole championship golf course. Scenic boat cruises are also offered by several local captains on the island. In addition, power boats and kayaks are available for rent in the area. There are many uninhabited islands and beaches nearby to explore. The striped bass fishing in the Kennebec is excellent, and you can fish from the rocks in front of the cottage. No license is required. Guided fishing trips are available from a number of area guides. There are many picturesque lighthouses close to the cottage, and two are visible from White Rocks. Perkins Island Light is located just south of the cottage, and Squirrel Point Lighthouse is directly across the bay from the cottage. White Rocks is 10 minutes from Reid State Park, which features the most beautiful beach in Maine. The park includes two beaches, hiking trails, and a warm salt water lagoon. A free park pass is provided.
