Mount Desert Island, Maine
For a continental island getaway that’s a bit more rustic than tropical, you should check out Maine’s Mt. Desert Island.
It’s home to Acadia National Park and the charming town of Bar Harbor, and it’s easy to see why this state’s largest affordable island has been attracting tenants like Martha Stewart.
You can explore some of the most beautiful scenery the area has to offer by taking a stroll on the Ocean Path, a four-mile journey extending from Sand Beach to the 110ft high Otter Cliff, one of the most elevated coastal headlands north of Rio.
Afterward, you’ll want to reward yourself by stocking up on locally-made chocolates at The Chocolate Moose Confectionery.

Rent an apartment, in one of the pre-1898, colonial buildings! Use VRBO, Vacation Rentals by Owner! Rent a car to see the outer sights, or book tours by going to one of the big hotels along the waterfront, getting brochures, tour buses pick up there!
Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia and Florida should have been included.
You should have included Mackinaw Island in Michigan.
