Southport Island:
Was first visited by European fishermen in the 1600's and it was the site of one of the earliest permanent settlements in the area. in the 1800's popular resort hotels were built here. The island is accessible from the mainland by the swing bridge over the Townsend Gut or by boat. The west side of the island faces the Sheepscot River, where it flows into the sea, and has several distinctive communities: Dogfish Head, Cozy Harbor, and Newagen. At Hendricks Head there is a beach for town residents and their guests (including you); it's sandy and sheltered, with a view out to the ocean and of the neighboring lighthouse. The east side of the island faces Boothbay Harbor and has views across the islands, both up the harbor and out to sea.
