Belfast Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor in Penobscot Bay just off the historic waterfront town of Belfast, Maine, where you'll find a charming small city within easy dinghy distance. The setting is classic New England — rolling hills, a working harbor, and a downtown packed with independent shops, restaurants, and a lively arts scene that punches well above its small-town weight. The holding ground is generally good, and the views back toward the hills of Waldo County make this one of the more scenic stops along the Maine coast.
