Food and Scene

This is a fantastic gift shop and bakery shaped like a "Big Blueberry" for all things Maine! They sell homemade spreads, syrups, and plenty of wild blueberry baked goods such as blueberry coffeecake, muffins, pies, and scones. They have ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes too! Currently, they have takeout only and t-shirts/gifts on the back side of the big blueberry. You can take a walk around in the gardens which used to be a putt putt golf course.

There is a beautiful walking trail all around the island. You will walk through woods and along the shore. It took my son and I 3 hours and 45 minutes to walk with a few breaks to rest and take pictures. We saw irises, pitcher plants, and gorgeous views of the ocean and a lighthouse in the distance. It is not a difficult hike, but rather moderate to easy overall.

Great place to go before a hike at Great Wass Island Preserve. They have a touch tank with Maine sea creatures!
