Izzy's Beach likely derives its name from a local family or resident on North Haven, one of Maine's fourteen unbridged island communities located 12 miles off Rockland in Penobscot Bay. This beach serves the small year-round population accessible via Maine Department of Transportation ferry making three daily round trips aboard the Captain Neal Burgess.
The beach provides shoreline access on this island known for its scenic beauty and quiet character, offering opportunities to explore North Haven's coastal landscape and observe seabirds, harbor seals, and maritime activity. Visitors can bike around the island to access beaches and parks while experiencing the traditional island lifestyle maintained by this close-knit community.
North Haven's small population means limited dining options, with most restaurants concentrated in the village center near the southern ferry landing. Visitors typically bring provisions or enjoy seasonal establishments serving the summer community, experiencing the self-sufficient island culture characteristic of Maine's offshore communities.
