Description
Port Clyde is the southernmost settlement on the St. George peninsula in central/coastal Maine and part of the town of St. George in Knox County, Maine, United States.
In the 19th century, Port Clyde became a busy port featuring granite quarries, tide mills for sawing timber, and shipbuilding and fish canning businesses. By the 20th century, the area attracted artists and writers.[1] The Country of the Pointed Firs was written by Sarah Orne Jewett in St. George.[2]
Port Clyde's harbor was originally known as Herring Gut.[3] Marshall Point � site of the Marshall Point Lighthouse� is Port Clyde's southernmost extremity.
To get to here you�ll take Route 131 from Route 1 in Thomaston The road curves with the meandering St. George River, passing saltwater meadows, clapboard farmhouses, a few small art galleries, and the cluster of weathered buildings that is Tenants Harbor.
