Heron's Perch Guidebook

Taking a picnic to the back shore or bringing your things to Sand Beach are all easier when you've got wheels! Brad's Bike Rental is across from Hannigan's and golf carts (seasonal) are available by the ferry. http://peaksislandcarts.com

Casco Bay Lines runs a ferry to Peaks' Island almost every hour. Link to schedule: https://www.cascobaylines.com/schedules/peaks-island-schedule/. It is a 20 minute ferry ride. Our house is about a half mile/15 minute walk from the ferry. You can leave your car on the mainland or bring it to the island on the car ferry.

https://peaksislandtaxi.org The taxi is usually waiting at the ferry when the boat comes in. You can also call and make reservations. Drivers are locals, so ask questions!

The island is very walkable and kids love to have that freedom, but I found bringing a stroller or wagon really helpful when my kids were little. They could walk as much as they wanted and then hop in the stroller when they got tired.
