©Yankee Magazine/Mark Fleming Join the editors of Yankee magazine as we visit with the residents of five of Maineâs Magical Islands. You can gain virtual access with a [Yankee All Access Charter Membership]( Dear , Locals and visitors alike can agree that Maine always offers something new and exciting to discover. Head offshore however, and an unexpected experience awaits. Dozens of islands dot the seascape, but only 15 of them host year-round communities, each with a unique personality. Board a boat and you will find summer cottages tucked behind lush gardens, bike paths, meadows, rugged hiking trails, secret swimming holes, plenty of fresh seafood, and different way of life. Once you leave the mainland, you âjust need to relax and let go.â If you only have time for a short day trip to âlet go,â Peakâs Island is just three miles away from Portland, but itâs the perfect destination for rest and relaxation. Most everything is within walking distance, including three museums, an eclectic restaurant with an outdoor deck and skyline views of Portland, and one of the best food trucks youâll ever come across. And during the summer, you donât even have to worry much about the ferry schedule, since it runs more than a dozen times throughout the day. Discover five of Maineâs Magical Islands. Then find out from the locals where to eat, where to sleep, and what you canât miss. [Yankee]( Magazine/Mark Fleming Getting to Monhegan might be a bit tougher. Youâll spend about an hour traveling to or from the island, and if you miss the mid-afternoon ferry, youâre on the island for the night. That might not be so bad, though. You could stay in an 1870s-era inn with ocean views or at a guest room lit only by oil lamps. And, naturally, thereâs a seafood shack with seating on the beach, as well as island-crafted beer. If you need to disconnect, this is the place to do it. Just be warned, you might not want to leave. In the words of one resident, âYou may never have really planned on spending your life here, and then you realize you couldnât live anywhere else.â Art lovers can enjoy Monhegan, thanks to a very special museum, and you donât want to miss a spectacular view that not many people know about, but youâll have to read Maineâs Magical Islands to find out more. Your [Yankee All-Access Charter Membership]( gives you immediate access to all five of the exciting destinations in Maineâs Magical Islands. Youâll discover which island to go to if you want to leave your cell phone behind, where you can get made-from-scratch lobster rolls and whoopie pies, and where to go for a hike thatâs not on any national park map, but offers a view like no other. Go on a kayak adventure where you might have company from baby seals. Get a 360-degree view of the bay at sunset, and find out where you can walk from one island to another at low tide. Take a hike through 200 acres of conservation land, and donât forget to sample some of the homemade ice cream. Maineâs Magical Islands have something for everyone to enjoy. Discover all the details, including how to get to each island, as part of the Yankee Dynamic Collection: Maine. Discover your new favorite day trips, weekend getaways, hidden treasures, and more in Vacationland. This is the New England we love.
