South Bristol is a peninsula where the Damariscotta River enters into the Atlantic. Water is everywhere! Our house is located at what is known as 'the Gut'. This is the fishing village area that has a “swing” bridge to allow boat and fishing traffic to cut through to the ocean as apposed to taking a longer route which brings you around Rutherford Island and Christmas Cove.
South Bristol is a combination of a working fishing/lobster village and a summer community. It is not a built up tourist area such as Boothbay Harbor, however the area is in great demand for vacationers. Great effort is put into maintaining the charm of the village and balance between the year round population and vacationing folk.
