• Old Sow Whirlpool: She and her piglets comprise the largest whirlpool in the western hemisphere. The Old Sow Whirlpool can be enjoyed from land at the cul-de-sac at the north end of Water Street in Eastport or from the Seaview Campground or Restaurant on Norwood Road. However, a water view on the New Brunswick Ferry from Eastport to Deer Island or on one of the local fishing, sailing, or whale watching trips is even better.

Many locations in Eastport have free copies of a map detailing the Eastport/Lubec Quoddy Loop vicinity. Carry one with you. This map details roads and ferry routes connecting the entire area. You'll enjoy each of these day trips more fully if you have a camera and binoculars always at hand. At every turn you have the opportunity for a moose to appear, an eagle to soar overhead, or some other breathtaking sight to awaken your senses. Many days you'll want a sweater or sweatshirt within easy reach. Bring along water and food so you'll have the freedom to explore in every direction.
