What to expect
The harbor side park and amphitheater designed by Frederick Olmsted are visible at both the start and end of every Sail Camden adventure. Added to the National Register of Historic places, the park and amphitheater regularly serve as event spaces for book and craft fairs as well as hosting a number of weddings annually.
The spectacular view of the Camden Hills State Park from out on the Penobscot Bay is one that never grows old. The fact that the Camden Hills come right down to the edge of the bay is the reason that Camden is referred to as “where the mountains meet the sea”.
Mount Battie
The most visited of the Camden Hills, the top of Mount Battie was once home to a hotel. Nowadays visitors and locals alike add a trip to the top of Mount Battie to their lists of valuable local excursions. The top of Mount Battie is accessible by two trails of varying degrees of difficulty and the Mount Battie Auto Road. Iconic views of both Camden Harbor and the Penobscot Bay await visitors. We recommend you take a drive up the auto road after seeing Mt. Battie from the water on your sail.
Built in 1896, Curtis Island Light has long stood as a quaint and welcoming sight to mariners and visitors alike. Today its green flashing light serves as the first channel marker for the main entrance to Camden Harbor. Locals and visitors enjoy viewing the light from both the sea and from up close on the island for those lucky enough to secure transportation by boat to the island’s only gravelly beach.
Located on Bayview Street just a half mile from downtown Camden, Laite Memorial Beach offers a sloped grassy hill, small playground and sandy, pebbly waterfront enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Laite Beach offers beautiful views of vessels of various lengths and styles coming and going regularly throughout the summer months.
Vinalhaven
With good visibility we can see Vinalhaven Island across the bay with its three prominent windmills generating power for the island. This island is accessible by a ferry departing from Rockland or by private boat. Take your bike over on the ferry for a day trip to this quaint island.
North Haven
Even smaller than her sister island, North Haven Maine is a beautiful island with a small tight knit community. The island is visible from your sails on clear days across the bay. If you make it a destination on your holiday have a stay at Nebo Lodge where there is a highly raved about restaurant in-house. Sailors Bakery is another popular stop. North Haven is accessible by ferry departing from Rockland or by private boat.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
