Accessible only by boat or kayak, this old granite quarry on Green Island, originally built in the 1800s, is the ideal swimming hole - if you can get to it. Popular with sea kayakers, the entire island is a preserve managed by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust and part of a network of 11 islands known as Merchant Row.
