That’s such a fascinating fact! It’s amazing to think about how many islands there are off Maine’s coast and how some of them, like Isle au Haut, are still so remote and unconnected to the mainland by bridges.
The story of the Water family choosing to move to Isle au Haut really highlights the charm and appeal of simpler, quieter living.
With just a general store and a gift shop, it seems like the island offers a peaceful way of life focused on nature and community.
It’s interesting how the lack of amenities like pizza delivery or restaurants didn’t deter them—just goes to show how much people value a serene environment for raising a family. Have you ever been to Maine or visited any of its islands?
