The central part of the island provides miles of well-cared-for trails including Cathedral Woods, a must-see for all visitors. From the western, or village side of Monhegan, one can see a beautiful harbor, nearby Manana Island or one of Monhegan’s famous sunsets while relaxing on Swim Beach.Monhegan offers the chance for visitors to see artists, including some very familiar names, at work in their own studios during regularly scheduled hours. The island is also known as a premier birding location for the many rare and unusual birds spotted during the spring and fall migrations.There is something for everyone on Monhegan.
