It’s said that you never step in the same river twice.

That’s certainly true along this part of the Saco River. With an ever-changing variety of choices, Island Point offers hundreds of ways to enjoy Maine in your own style.

Your day could start with a walk along Ferry Beach, looking for sand dollars left by the receding tide. Listen to the sea birds and watch the fishing boats head out for a day’s work. Nearby is Ferry Beach State Park, where you can explore a quiet, lush, and very rare tupelo forest.

Stroll down Main Street in Saco, with its historic homes, museum, library, and selection of shops and restaurants.

Within minutes of your Island Point home or office, you can savor a bucket of clams or steamed lobster on a dock where the Saco River meets the sea. Walk to a sushi bar, Mexican restaurant, French bistro, or sample the authentic cuisines of Vietnam, India, China or Japan. Or enjoy one of New England’s best microbreweries and restaurants located in the heart of Island Point.

Upon your return home you may anticipate taking your boat out from its slip for a short sail… or perhaps just a quiet kayak run upriver will do. And there’s always time to meet a friend for coffee at the Island Point café.
