The leaves weren’t changing yest when we stopped at Five Islands in Georgetown, Maine, but that never stops us from adding this spot to our itinerary, any time we’re in the neighborhood. Of course there is fresh lobster and seafood available on the dock, with picnic tables, but it is more about the beauty–the open expanse of harbor, fishing boats, the islands. There is a feel to Five Islands. World reknown artist, Dahlov Ipcar had her studio and farm just down the road, near another enchanted spot, Robin Hood Cove.
