Monhegan Island, located 10 miles off the coast of Maine, is a stunning pedestrian-friendly destination accessible only by ferry. Cars are banned, making the island an inviting walkable escape, perfect for those looking to unwind. The writer and their partner visited briefly, enchanted by the historical Island Inn and the dramatic coastal scenery during their ferry ride. Their experience illustrates the island's quaint atmosphere and tranquility, making them eager to return after just one night. The journey itself was highlighted by beautiful views of anchored boats and seaside homes.
The Island Inn, built in 1816, captivated me as the rustic lodging immediately accentuated Monhegan's charm, making it a picturesque place for an overnight stay.
Unique to Monhegan Island, the absence of cars means the community thrives on a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle, allowing visitors to experience its beauty fully with every step.
