Welcome to the Town of Searsport. If you are considering a Maine vacation, I encourage you to think about visiting our lovely town. We have several Sea Captain's homes converted to bed and breakfast inns, as well as conventional motels. There is also an excellent seaside campground. A visit would not be complete without a walk on the shores of Sears Island - one of the largest undeveloped islands on the east coast. Searsport is strategically located within easy driving distances to Bar Harbor, Bangor, Camden, Rockland and our state capital in Augusta. Belfast, Stockton Springs, Fort Point Light House, The Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Fort Knox are just some of the attractions only minutes away. Searsport is very friendly to businesses large and small. We currently participate in the Mid-Coast Pine Tree Economic Zone and have a very active Economic Development Committee. The town participates in Tax Increment Financing packages for businesses. Searsport has the fastest growing deepwater port in New England. Port service, rail service and Route One access give Searsport a definite advantage for business and industry. Maine people have a great reputation as being hard working and honest. Our quality of life and sense of place makes Maine and Searsport an excellent choice for business. We have developed a Business Planning Guide which you can download from our web site or stop by the Town Office... we are always very interested in talking with you about your future plans.
