Pebble Beach derives its descriptive name from the smooth, rounded stones covering this shoreline on Monhegan Island, Maine's remote artist colony located 10 miles offshore. This cobblestone beach serves the island's year-round population of approximately 60 residents and summer visitors arriving by ferry from Port Clyde, New Harbor, or Boothbay Harbor on this car-free island destination.
The beach offers opportunities for beachcombing, exploring tide pools, and observing the island's dramatic coastal landscape where Atlantic waves have smoothed stones over centuries. Visitors can experience Monhegan's rugged beauty while hiking the island's extensive trail system, observing seabirds, and discovering why generations of artists have been drawn to this pristine offshore environment.
Monhegan dining includes The Island Inn Restaurant for refined fresh seafood and lobster with stunning harbor views open seasonally, Monhegan Fish House for the freshest catches at picnic tables on the active fishing cove, and Monhegan House for scratch kitchen meals featuring the daily halibut catch and local organic island-grown produce in this tight-knit island community.
