Accessible from Route 1A in the little town of Searsport (between Stockton Springs and Belfast), Sears Island runs approximately two miles from north to south and is known for its beaches, light hiking and walking trails. The island is loaded with useful amenities, from its paved walking trail to its port-a-potties, which my youngest sister has told me are “the cleanest she’s seen.” The island also provides a few picnic tables, wooden stairways leading down to the beaches, trash cans and even a Little Free Library stuffed with good books. ~ Danielle M.
