Sears Island is one of the largest uninhabited islands on the east coast.

It is located at the top of the Penobscot Bay, which is listed as one of the top ten sailing bays in the world.

Some 940 acres with over five miles of shore line, Sears Island is connected to the mainland via a causeway - and free access. Its the ideal spot for finding sea glass after a storm, or sand dollars and star fish. To enjoy absolute peace and tranquility - it is soul refreshing!

The island is a mecca for birders with some 168 species of birds having been recorded on, along with many mammals, amphibians, fish and plants including eel grass and a rare* sedge.

Locals hunt and fish on the island and hiking, dog walking and sea glass & sea shell hunting are a favorite of all.
