Isles of Shoals

Star Island

The Isles of Shoals are a group of small islands split between Maine and New Hampshire. They were settled by fishermen even before the local towns were.  Today, some of the islands are privately owned, and some owned by the University of New Hampshire and used for marine research. Star Island, shown here, is the largest of the islands, and is owned by a religious organization which hosts conferences in the hotel during the summer.
