From the Camden Maine Stay take Rt 1 south to Rt 131 in Thomaston and then head east toward Port Clyde. You will need to take the Laura B from Port Clyde at the first sailing (7:00 AM) or the second trip at 10:30 AM. The 11 mile trip takes about an hour and twenty minutes. Coming home you will need to take the 4:30pm. To make a reservation call the Monhegan Boat Line at (207) 372 8848.
If you want to get settled at the inn and then go into the village for dinner head north on Rt 131 to the junction of Rt 1. Turn right and then stay on Rt 1 north through Rockland to Camden.
Another option is to enjoy the sunset at the Marshall Point Light House which is only a mile from the public landing in Port Clyde. You will see the light as you enter the harbor and the road back to it is well marked. Now head north on Rt 131 for about five miles and stop at the East Wind Inn in Tenant's Harbor for dinner. You can call (207) 372 6366 for a reservation or just drop in.
If you take one of the earlier boats you will be able to make a few more stops. Go north on Rt 131 through Tenant's Harbor to St. George where you will turn right on Rt 73 toward Spruce Head. If you want to walk along a very quiet, sand beach, I recommend a stop at Birch Point State Park. You will see signs for the park on the right side of Rt 73.
Continuing north on Rt 73 you will pass the Owl's Head Transportation Museum where you will find a superb collection of vintage cars and aircraft.
Next stop should be the Farnsworth Art Museum in the center of Rockland. The Farnsworth has a great collection of "Maine Art" and an entire building housing an extensive collection of paintings by three generations of the Wyeth family. Next stop - the Camden Maine Stay.
