Surrounded on three sides by the sprawling coastal town of Harpswell, Quahog Bay captures the authentic charm of mid-coast Maine. Depending on the moon's phase, 7- to 12-foot tides sweep cold, nutrient-rich waters in from the open Atlantic. This ebb and flow sustains a vital and productive marine habitat that is home to a diverse array of fish, seabirds, and shellfish.
For many generations, Quahog Bay's waters have provided a living for commercial fishers and their families. The bay has also attracted recreational boaters and outdoor enthusiasts, all of whom enjoy its beauty. While several attractive anchorages can be found within this expansive bay, Snow Island offers the best protection.
