Travel and Accommodations

French’s Point is situated near Stockton Springs in the mid-coast region, with excellent local options for dining, shopping, galleries, and recreational activities. Picturesque nearby coastal villages include Castine, Camden, Rockport, Belfast, Bucksport, Blue Hill, and Ellsworth. Fly into Bangor International Airport, ME (BGR, our recommendation), a 40-minute drive from French’s Point. You can also fly into Portland, ME; Boston, MA; or Portsmouth, NH. Because the area is relatively rural, a rental car could be useful. Bus, taxi, and car services are also available in the region, but limited. We will be providing transportation from the Belfast Harbor Inn, The Homeport, The Captain Nickels Inn, and the Seascape Motel and Cottages.
