Jonesport is the epitome of a traditional Maine fishing village, located along the Moosabec Reach. The community is world-renowned for its lobster industry, and the harbor remains the bustling heart of town year-round. Visitors can enjoy the rare beauty of Sandy River Beach, known for its fine sand in a region characterized by rocky shores.
