What to bring to Monhegan Island

 

Read our blog: Travels with The Knitting Yogi

The weather in September on the island...

...can be warm, sunny and beautiful or unpredictable and chilly. Please plan your clothing to be as flexible and as casual as possible which means layers for warm days and cool nights. The roads are unpaved, so comfortable walking shoes are a must as is a rain jacket. The ferry service allows 2 pieces of luggage for a total of 70 lbs and a carry-on -- there is a charge for extra items. Small personal items, food, as well as beer and wine may be purchased at several locations on the island. Most businesses on the island accept all forms of payment. While there is no bank on the island, there is an ATM. Cell phone reception is limited.


Please use the following list as a guide for packing:
