Cundy's Harbor, Maine

Cundy's Harbor is located at the very tip of Great Sebascodegan Island in the Town of Harpswell.  This quaint little Maine fishing village is a delight to see.  It is a short drive from Brunswick, Maine just off Route 24 (20 mins).  It is a working fishermen's harbor.  There is, for the occasional tourist, a souvenir shop, general store, and restaurant selling sandwiches, drinks, and fish dinners.
