Orr’s and Bailey Islands are magical places that offer dozens of interesting activities that will encourage you to stay close to your new haven. Kayaking at the world headquarters of H2Outfitters, the Giant Steps and/or the town beach with its sandy shore, Mackerel and Lowell’s Coves with world class Maine picture post card settings, lots of long walks on quiet ways, or art offerings in every direction. Eat at the famous Cooks Lobster House or lunch on chowder at Prince’s next to the one and only granite crib-bridge between Orr’s and Bailey Islands- and don’t miss treats at the ice cream palace within a short walk of the cottage.
Day trips within 45 minutes of Orr’s will likely include Freeport with LL Bean and the dozens of discount outlets that fill the town, but should also include Bowden College in Brunswick, Wiscasset that is dubbed the prettiest village in Maine and has too many antique shops to count and the Maine Maritime Museum next to the Bath Iron Works in Bath.
