Ready for a break from Minnesota before the weather hits for another long winter? Head to the islands of Maine for sunny skies, clear coastal water and the freshest seafood you'll taste this side of anywhere.
On a recent trip to Stonington, on Deer Isle, Maine we found the ten best places to eat, shop and stay. In no particular order, they are:
1. Isle Au Haut Boat Service for an amazing Lobster Fishing Cruise experience.
2. Dockside Books and Gifts for Stonington-specific books, art, postcards, etc.
3. Lily's Café for a fabulous lunch.
4. The Whale's Rib Tavern for a not-to-be-missed dinner experience.
5. Island Approaches Gifts for Stonington apparel and gifts for kids.
6. The Farmer's Market for truly unique and delicious eats and arts.
7. The Seasons of Stonington Gourmet Foods and Wine for top quality labels as well as affordable delicacies.
8. Nervous Nellie's Jams & Jellies for seriously yummy fare.
9. Black Dinah Chocolatiers I'm not going to say "Once you go Black Dinah's . . . but it's true."
10. Boyce's Motel If you are in Stonington, it's your new home away from home.
For a complete list of Deer Isle accommodations (including Inn on the Harbor, which offers scones and cappuccino across the street from Boyce's Motel), restaurants, and attractions, visit the Chamber of Commerce site.
