IMAGINE YOURSELF LIVING FULL TIME OR VACATION ON THE PRISTINE COASTAL WATERFRONT OF THE "BAY OF FUNDY".
This charming, but roomy Cape Cod offers the best of both worlds. If you live in a state with very warm climate in the summers months and you need to escape the heat, come to Eastport, Maine. Where you can enjoy the cool climate, boating on the Bay of Fundy, while watching the whales, seals and wildlife. Escape the hectic chaos of busy cities and traffic. There is no traffic in Eastport and no crowds. In fact there is not even a traffic light in the City. Everything is within walking distance and no need to even drive your car in the summer time. Lots of outdoor activity, such as boating, canoeing, kayacking, water skiing, fishing, mountain climbing, nature walks and much much more. Take a boat excursion across to the Canadian Islands, including Campobella Island, to tour the Historic Roosevelt Mansion, open to the public for tours.

HISTORIC LIGHTHOUSES -Across the Bay on Campobello Island, there are two Lighthouses on the island East Quoddy Light at Head Harbour and Channel Light. The Channel Light is located between Lubec and Campobello Island. From almost any point along the shore, other lighthouses are visible.
Tourism is also a growing industry, for there is great natural beauty to our area. On any given day (provided the season is right) one can see fascinating wildlife such as whales, porpoises, seals, bald eagles, osprey, ducks and sea birds. We even had a moose swim to town a couple years back! The unique maritime history of the area provides much to explore. Eastport is home to the world's second largest whirlpool, the "Old Sow". Eastport is the only US owned principality that has been under rule by a foreign government. It was held from 1814 to 1818 by British troops under King George following the conclusion of the War of 1812.
Currently, Eastport has a surprising amount to offer for a community so remote on the coast. There is a large community of artists living here year-round or as summer residents: a number of art galleries: an arts center, which offers a concert series, and art classes. A large co-op gallery, a very active community theater, and two museums provide culture to the inquisitive. Recreational opportunities include a tennis court, mini-golf, softball diamonds, ice-skating rinks, basketball courts, two golf courses within an hour's drive, hiking trails, sailing, whale watching, birding, and fresh and salt water fishing.
There is a fully staffed medical center and a dialysis center on the island. There are two small hospitals nearby and a major medical center with excellent staff and facilities. Eastport has an ambulance service. Our fire department is volunteer, but very professional. We also have a fully staffed police department who take their jobs seriously, but always have time to stop and chat with people. Eastport has seven churches, two gas stations (one is full service), a large grocery store, two convenience stores, a pharmacy, an abundance of beauty parlors and several restaurants, both seasonal and year round, post office, automotive repair shops, waterfront shops, boat marine service facility, medical center, senior retirement center, convalescent center, youth center, elementary school and high school. There is also The Marine Technology Center, which is a branch of the Washington County Technical College. The School offers training in boat building and and refurbishing/painting as well as commercial fishing. The University of Maine at Machias is only 45 minutes away.
Eastport is a small port city, population 2,000 or so (depending on the time of the year!) located on Moose Island. It is connected with the mainland by a short causeway. The community is rich in history and natural beauty on one of the last unspoiled stretches of the Maine coast.
The sun rises first in Eastport, making it the most eastern city in the United States. It also boasts the most northeasterly commercial shipping port in the US, hence the name Eastport. Eastport ships cargoes of paper products as well as some logs and granite to various international destinations. Once the site of a booming sardine fishing and canning industry, Eastport has evolved into the leading center of the aquaculture industry on the East Coast. It produces millions of pounds of fresh farm raised Atlantic salmon each year.
By the afternoon you will see the lobster boats and fishing boats returning to the pier, where they display and sell their abundant catch of fresh lobster, crab, and variety of fish.
Eastport also has the last existing operating stone-ground mustard mill. Founded in 1900 to supply packing mustard to commercial canneries. Today, they sell gourmet mustard to the public.
