Here's a few pictures from our 2018 trip to Isle au Haut. We stayed at the Keeper's House for three nights. Our first full day was generally foggy. I did a trip all the way around the island, stpping off for small hikes at places like Boom Beach and Eban Head. Lots of hills. Totally exhausted myself, but I'm glad I did it once again.
Viuew South-West from the lighthouse, a bit foggy down there. |
The Thorofare, low tide. The sea is under that house at high tide. |

Boom Beach, one of my favorite places on the island. |
Head Harbor. Much fog down there. |

The road around the island comes close to the beach at Shark Point |
The lighthouse. Can't see Kimball Island, too much fog! |
At the lighthouse, places to sit and enjoy the view. Sometimes a bit buggy! |
View from our room, The Garrett, under the roof, propably a finished attic. A pleasant room, but on the third floor (stairs to climb). |
A small bay called Seal Trap. Probably adapted from the French. Nobody traps seals there. |
Trial Point Ten minutes on the bike, then about an hour to the point on a nice trail. |
The "beach" at Trial Point. There are some truly sandy beaches on the island. |
The Otter passes the lighthouse on the way back from Duck Harbor |

View to the West. Kimball Island across the channel. |
