Visit the Islands of Maine

A beautiful part of Maine that visitors sometimes miss are the many islands just off the coast. At first glance it may seem difficult to plan a trip to an island - particularly for those out-of-staters not familiar with Maine and its islands. Many islands can be seen with just a day-trip. A local Maine website and news organization, http://www.keepmecurrent.com/, has just published an article about Maine islands that provides tips for visitors on how to gather information needed to plan your island trip. Some suggestions offered by the article include Appledore Island near Kittery and Wood Island near Biddeford Pool. Also recommended are the Casco Bay Islands - Peak's Island and Long Island.
