Bayview Cottage and Bar Island Camp: 2 Vacation Getaways: Two of our favorite sand beaches!

Bayview Cottage

Our family has carved out a wonderful life in the coastal community of Milbridge, Maine, and now we can share a slice of this world with you. Are you looking for quiet, an ocean view, hiking to amazing vistas, opportunities to walk along the beach, collect sea glass, build a campfire, gaze at the Milky Way, and play? Maybe you enjoy bird watching, whale watching, kayaking, or lake swimming. Bay View might be just your cup of tea. Surrounded by fields of blueberries, cranberries, and lots of romping room for you and your dog friends, our cottage overlooks Pigeon Hill Bay and Bois Bubert Island, a National Wildlife refuge. The town offers a movie theater, pharmacy, restaurants, a museum, and more. McClellans Park calls Milbridge home, spring fed lakes are nearby, and the Narraguagus River meets the ocean here. Our kayaks are yours for the day and we offer a complimentary lobster dinner to our guests.

Two of our favorite sand beaches!

Corea, Maine, a 15 minute drive from Bayview, is home to a beautiful white sand beach. As children we would pack a picnic lunch and drive to Schoodic Point. We always packed our bathing suits and planned a visit to this beach. Check out this virtual tour: http://www.downeastmaineonline.com/Tour/Corea/vtour.htm

Our all time favorite sand beach is without a doubt…Roque Bluffs. This beach is part of the Maine State Park attractions and is further Downeast from Bayview…about a 30 minute drive. Something about this beach attracts us, even on foggy mornings or drizzly days, we're drawn to the peace and beauty of this special place.
