Owls Head is a small, quiet community just minutes from Rockland, Thomaston and Camden. These larger cities offer museums, restaurants, shopping, festivals and endless cultural activities. Owls Head, which extends to the immediate south of Rockland, is noted for its historic lighthouse with unparalleled views of the Penobscot Bay islands, its scenic working harbor, and the world-class Owls Head Transportation Museum. Owls Head is also the location of the Knox County Regional Airport—the Mid-Coast region's only airport, offering scheduled airline service, island transportation, and facilities for small jet aircraft. Just beyond the airport is Birch Point Beach State Park, which has a sand beach framed by a secluded natural setting. The small village common, at the end of North Shore Drive, is the gateway to Owls Head Harbor and the Owls Head Light. Owls Head's unique location on the coast makes getting to Camden, Rockport, Tenants Harbor, Port Clyde and Bar Harbor very easy!
