—————————————-

Explore "Bar Island" - which is accessible by foot at Low Tide, or take a kayak out to the island at High Tide.
Observe a family of Bald Eagles who have nested on and returned to Bar Island year after year.
Enjoy bird watching right from the spacious, wrap-around deck, hike the sand beach, or try the many hiking trails that abound in the area, including the nature preserve on Great Wass Island located just over the Jonesport-Beals Bridge.
The choices for day trips include several famous lighthouses in the area, and featuring the often-photographed candy-striped tower at West Quoddy Head Light. Visiting President Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer home on Campobello Island is the culmination of a worthwhile day trip to nearby Lubec, with its quaint shops and eateries, and the Canadian Border.
Local "catch of the day" seafood can be purchased at the seafood Co-Op in the downtown area, as well as lots of great local produce at the local farmers markets, and daily specials at the largest local farm in the area.
Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are a short day trip, as well as historic Raye's Mustard Mill in Eastport -- the last true working stone ground mustard mill in the United States. It is still in use, and the workers LOVE to give the tour!!
Also very nearby is the Bartlett Maine Estate Winery...the first of its kind in the entire state of Maine.
All in all, Sandy River Beach is a very relaxing place to spend your vacation, yet not so far out of the way.
Ending each of your days with a nice glass of local wine while sitting on the porch swing keeps you wondering who is running the rest of the world.

Jonesport is also a lovely home base for the many festivals and events held in the surrounding area during the spring, summer and fall months...

The Moosabec Summerfest in Jonesport occurs annually around the Fourth of July and features many family-friendly activities, including a Parade, fireworks and the Original "World's Fastest Lobster Boat" races.

The Machias Wild Blueberry Festival turns the entire Downeast area blue in the middle of August with the premier event of the summer, celebrating the origins and contributions of Maine's signature fruit...

Other area celebrations, including "Margaretta Days" in nearby Machias, "Milbridge Days" featuring the world famous Cod Race, the annual "Addison Days" celebration, the newly minted "Bold Coast Sea & Sky Festival" and the "Eastport Pirate Festival" will make your Downeast experience one that will last for a lifetime...

Back home for a visit
Very nice home, owner was also very nice. House was right across the street from the beach, beautiful view. I was born in Maine, its been 9 years since I was home. We loved every minute of it and was very comfortable staying in the home.

Delightful
Harlan Samuelson was a delightful host. Within minutes we were having an enjoyable conversation and he was sharing about his family and this family home. The property was comfortable. The view spectacular. Harlan quickly became a friend. My dog loved him. The location is great to go to Quoddy State Park, Schoonic, Great Wass, Jasper Beach, Lubec and so many other great hiking and scenic places. I am happy that I booked this home. Harlan gifted us with fresh lobster. I will enjoy my trip and all the memories for years to come.

Lovely stay
Harlan is a very kind and helpful host. The house is comfortable and everything works. The best asset is the magnificent view and the swing on the porch, to admire it at all times. We really enjoyed Sandy River beach and walking to Bar island. We appreciated being away from the crowds, listening to the waves and the birds. If you are ok feeling like you are staying in somebody else's house, you will be able to enjoy it's charm. I felt like i was staying at my grand-parents' house.
