Jasper Beach is located in Howard Cove, Machiasport, just west of Machias Bay. It is dominantly a gravel beach. Bedrock frames Howard Cove making Jasper a pocket beach. It is also a barrier split that originates at an eroding bluff of glacial material on the west and terminates at a tidal inlet on the east. In addition the beach is cracked by fresh and saltwater lagoons, and a salt marsh. (Curated content from machiasport.org)

And so begins the second chapter of the Catherine Hill Winery story. Seeking to carry on the quality traditions set by Sue and Eric Meyer, (the original owners) we now find ourselves in the wonderfully unique position of running and owning a well established winery. It is our every intent to maintain the character and essence of Catherine Hill wines, with the possibility of some new additions in the future. For now, we are content to learn, craft, and expand our knowledge as well as add our own blood, sweat, and tears to the legacy of Catherine Hill Winery. (Curated content from www.cathillwinery.com)

Lighthouse
The Schoodic Peninsula is the only part of Acadia National Park found on the mainland. It boasts granite headlands that bear erosional scars of storm waves and flood tides. Although similar in scenic splendor to portions of Mount Desert Island, the Schoodic Peninsula is a more secluded area. It is intentionally managed by Acadia National Park as a minimally-developed, low-visitation area. It is about an hour drive from the Hulls Cove Visitor Center on Mount Desert Island.
