Campobello Island

Campobello Island is located just two and one half hours north of Bar Harbor, Maine, and two and a half hours south of St.John, New Brunswick. There are several restaurants in the area. The Deer Island ferry leaves from the beach adjoining the Owen House. One can leave the car and go on foot to Deer Island and Eastport for an inexpensive sea journey. Campobello also has an excellent golf course. Owen House is on the same cove as the Roosevelt Campobello International Park which has FDR's summer "cottage" open to the public. The whole area has wonderful hiking in the International park, the Provincial park and West Quoddy Head State park just across the border. Whales are often seen from East Quoddy lighthouse on the north end of the island.
