The park affords some of Maine's best wildlife watching. Visitors in summer may spot humpback, minke, and finback whales off-
shore, along with rafts of eider, scoter, and old squaw ducks. Kittiwakes, gannets, black-bellied plovers, ruddy turnstones and purple
sandpipers all can be seen at times roosting on Sail Rock. During spring and fall migration periods, hundreds of shorebirds congre-
gate near the park’s western boundary at Lubec Flats and Carrying Place Cove (named for a canoe portage site that Native Americans
used). 189 South Lubec Road, Lubec (207) 733-2180 westquoddy.com

Something not to miss when at the park is Tea with Eleanor.

Island and of her years of activism and public service, all ac-

ple of her “My Day” columns (her acclaimed newspaper column
