Monhegan Island

I have visited Monhegan Island a couple of times and I have got to say it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It's located about 12 nautical miles off the coast of Maine and is accessible by ferry from Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor and Port Clyde.
No cars are allowed on Monhegan but you can easily explore the island using the 17 miles of hiking trails. The whole island is only 4.5 square miles. Around about 80% of the island is undeveloped due to Ted Edison who founded Monhegan Associates to preserve and protect the wild lands of the island.
I can't possibly put into words how beautiful Monhegan is, so hopefully these pictures will do it some justice. Also check out the link below to find out more information about the island.
