Norwood Cove

Norwood Cove is a quiet anchorage tucked along the southwest shore of Mount Desert Island, where you drop the hook and take in the wooded hillsides and the unhurried pace of this corner of Maine. It has an almost forgotten feel to it, sitting just off the small working community of Southwest Harbor without much fanfare. The surrounding area has deep local history, and the Southwest Harbor Public Library nearby is worth a visit if you go ashore.
