PREMISE
The original industry that supported the Phoenix Cove economy, was of course lobster fishing, as with most of coastal Maine. However, over time the area has transformed from a small fishing village to a fairly urban area. That isn't to say the waters around the island are quiet now, though. They have simply become more popular for recreational use than industry. The shore is often lined with pleasure cruises, whale watches, small yachts and party boats.
Though small, Phoenix Cove offers everything you might need. A beautiful tourist destination, the island supports, two bars, several restaurants, a beautiful B&B, salon, shopping and an art gallery as well as gorgeous beaches. For our full time residents, Phoenix Cove offers a library, schools, vet clinic, a hospital, grocery stores and more. While each establishment is small and locally owned, all your needs will be met, with friendly service by pleasant locals. The town also hosts several public events each month, giving plenty of opportunity to make friends, enjoy the sights and have fun. So stop on by for a visit. You may never want to leave.
