Long Island

Bass
Harbor, the same ferry that services Swan’s
Island
. “Captain Henry Lee”
runs the 8.25 miles to Frenchboro in 50 minutes three days a
week.
The limited access to the mainland
is one of the principle attractions to this vacation offering.

Things to do on the island? Walk
to cobble stone beaches and beaver ponds in the Frenchboro Preserve,
read, visit the small library and museum. I promise that you will be
amazed by the quiet, the ocean and the land.
There are no stores on island, nowhere to drive as there are
just a couple of miles of pavement.
You can’t really leave the island for a day as the ferry only
goes once to the island on ferry day.
Ferry schedule is like this: from
Bass
Harbor
on Wednesdays year round is at
9 am
and arrives at Frenchboro at
10 am
. On Thursdays the ferry
