This less-visited part of the popular island retains a peaceful feeling and boasts incredible sunset views over the little islets that dot the surrounding waters.

June through August is the best time to travel here, since these months see the lowest rain levels and warmest temperatures, averaging in the upper 70s. If you visit then, look for a Seal Cove vacation rental on the water to enjoy the ocean breezes.

The huge island preserve is home to all kinds of creatures, from moose and white-tailed deer to Canada geese and tiny sparrows. You won't have to wander too far in to go birding, as Seal Cove Pond on the western side is a short hop from your Seal Cove vacation rental.
