Wonderful day trip. If you use the ferry, avoid the weekends as they do not allow you much time on the island. Come on a week-day instead.

Love this place. The views are fantastic and the little cove is well protected from all but North winds. Can get rolly in a swell, especially around high tide. The moorings are spaced very tightly. Probably not good for anything larger than our 36' power boat. The metal CG mooring buoy will bang on your hull in light winds. Great hike up to the top, and the caretakers will give a tour of the lighthouse if they're available.

Beautiful views, excellent tour by Friends of Seguin volunteer, and walking trails we plan to go back to explore.

If you've been on the water in the southern end of Mid Coast Maine, you've no doubt seen Seguin Island Light, but if you've never been there it's worth a visit. Even during COVID you can explore the island, though you won't be able to go into the lighthouse. When thi gs returns to normal you can expect to find volunteer guides who will take you to the top for truly breathtaking views. There is a small mooring field at the foot of the path that will take you to the top. It's a steep climb, but the path is well maintained.
