Authentic "Down East"

"The Real Down East at its finest" describes eastern Washington County. The Eastport Area Chamber of Commerce represents the quaint, rural communities that stretch along US Route 1 and Route 214, from Edmunds, Dennysville, Charlotte, Pembroke, Perry, and Robbinston, to the spectacular drive on Route on 190 through the Passamaquoddy Tribe's Pleasant Point Indian Reservation to the Moose Island City of Eastport.

These communities are rich in history, with settlements dating back as early as 1763. Trading, ship building, and the ironworks were the early industries, with the sardine industry a major provider after the turn of the century.

Many sardine factories dotted the coast, and even today many fishermen still tend herring weirs-a Native American invention-seen in the coves along the shore.

The area has miles of beautiful cobble beaches, tidal covers, rivers, streams, and inland lakes, and is truly one of the last unspoiled stretches of Maine coast.

While visiting our area, take time to drive down a side road. Some of our most beautiful sights are waiting for you "off the beaten path."
