Isles of Shoals

The Isles of Shoals, a cluster of nine islands situated 7 miles off the Maine-New Hampshire border, have a rich history that predates the settlement of New England’s colonies. Originally a landing spot for fishermen, these islands later became a summer resort destination in the 1800s and 1900s. Four of the islands are part of New Hampshire, and today, they continue to attract visitors with their rugged coastal charm and historical significance. Explorers can delve into the past and enjoy the serene maritime environment.
