Little Hunters beach (Maine) is located outside the Islesford settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Little Hunters beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach was truly amazing, with breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that was truly rejuvenating. The only challenge we faced was finding a parking spot, but the experience was well worth the effort. Overall, it was a fantastic place to visit and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway."

Antanas

"This charming stone beach is a true gem, but be sure to don sturdy footwear to navigate the rocky terrain. The descent to the beach is just a few steps, and while there isn't a designated parking area, street parking is available nearby. Despite the lack of amenities, the beach's natural beauty makes it a destination worth visiting."
