Itinerary
The greatest-hits drive with short stops.
This is the one for visitors who only have a few hours or just arrived and want to get their bearings. Cross the bridge onto Little Deer Isle — pull over at Pumpkin Island Light for a quick look. Continue onto Deer Isle, stop at Causeway Beach to stretch your legs. Drive south through Deer Isle Village to Stonington. Walk the harbor, grab coffee — tap to see your options. If time allows, hit Settlement Quarry on the way back — ten-minute walk to a massive view. The whole loop can be done in 2-3 hours without rushing.
Best for
Any weather. 2-3 hours. Good for first-day orientation or short visits. All ages.
