Published Jul 19, 2008
Much as Franklin D. Roosevelt discovered over 100 years ago, Campobello Island is a spectacular summer destination. Located just across the Roosevelt Campobello Memorial Bridge from Lubec, Maine, Campobello is easily accessible to the United States.
Much of the island is dedicated to provincial parks with numerous trails, beaches and camping areas. A beautiful ocean side golf course is open to the public and enjoys spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy and the mile long Herring Cove Beach. Many of the natives of Campobello earn their livelihoods from the sea. There are several working harbors as well as some spectacular lighthouses.
Of course the Roosevelt Memorial Park is the major attraction. The park jointly operated by the US and Canada provides a garden like setting and a glimpse into the history of one of the United States most beloved presidents. Tours are available of the Roosevelt summer cottage as well as of the surrounding grounds and gardens.
Take a virtual tour of Campobello Island.
With prices from 25% to 50% less than comparable Maine properties, the island is attracting an ever increasing number of US citizens who desire pristine nature, crisp temperatures and numerous recreational opportunities all at what might be considered “bargain prices”. Being just a ½ mile from Maine, many seasonal US owners maintain their seasonal mail boxes and banking services right in Lubec. In less time than you can travel to the shopping mall in an average US town, you can traverse between the two countries enjoying the specific advantages and conveniences of each.
