Our Readers' Favorite Islands in the Continental U.S. of 2025

"The largest island off Maine is celebrated for its untamed coastal beauty: dramatic granite peaks, rugged shorelines, and sweeping autumn foliage. Visitors are drawn to its outdoor attractions and scenic landscapes, and many recommend spending several days to explore. The island’s eastern side is home to a lively waterfront town with classic lobster shacks and cozy inns that complement the natural scenery." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

We came upon this beach at lowtide. How very interesting to see seaweeds in this form!

The island has got to be my most favorite place in the world. It has everything from small beautiful towns to amazing hikes and long trails

Bar Harbor and Acadia are both on this stunning island, but you don't need to venture into either to view breathtaking scenery. I was there late October. Zero crowds, no problem parking anywhere.

Spent 2 days on the island. Acadia National park was beautiful. Loved walking downtown Bar Harbor.

The BEST vacation I've ever had and I've been to the Caribbean and Europe! You get everything from mountains to beaches to cute little towns to wildlife right in front of you. Acadia is just breathtaking too. It takes about 30-40 mins to get from 1 side of the island to the other as well, it's the perfect family vacation.

Island in Maine. Lots of lobsters, granite, fog and water. There's a national park here. It's pretty cool.

We rent at Chambers Oceanside Cottages. Highly recommended!

We come up here almost every year. Boring? Maybe. Or maybe we just found the perfect laid back, outdoorsy, dog friendly place in the USA to unwind and recharge.
