Once used strategically in both WWI and WWII, Jewell Island has otherwise been deserted with the exception of visitors. As a 221 acre island far out in Casco Bay, those feeling adventurous can only access this gem by boat, though the trek is worth it. With 3 miles of designated hiking trails, the island is mostly rocky and forested with hidden little coves, beaches, and even camping areas enticing visitors to stay and watch the sunrise.
