Port Clyde is a picturesque fishing village on mid-coast Maine’s St George peninsula that has become a haven for artists and writers, and the nearby Marshall Point Lighthouse featured in the 1994 movie Forrest Gump.
Once an important port for the fishing, granite and lumber industries, the main economic activity in Port Clyde now is tourism and lobster fishing. The village has a number of art galleries and artists’ studios, and the lighthouse has a small museum in the restored lighthouse keeper’s house.
A passenger ferry service operates from Port Clyde to Moneghan Island.
