A three-hour drive north of Boston, this ruggedly beautiful peninsula island is one of the scores of thin fingers of land that jut into the Atlantic off Maine. Accessible by bridge, it is encircled by the Kennebec, Back, Sasanoa, and Sheepscot rivers, whose waters draw osprey, bald eagles, piping plovers, least terns, egrets, and seals. Georgetown is largely undeveloped, save for working harbors, a few small businesses, and mostly modest homes that often have been in the same families for generations. The setting is serene, the pace of life gentle, the attractions more natural than man-made. This is a place where outdoor beauty is not simply appreciated, but savored. No wonder Georgetown, with its smattering of inns, restaurants, and boat tours, has become a quiet haven for visitors lured by its pristine shores, sheltered coves, and forested coastline.
