Readers often ask whether Pyke Island is a place they can visit. The short answer is yes and no. Pyke Island is a product of imagination but you can find islands and peninsulas like it in many places on the Downeast coast of Maine. Just head north on Rt 1, starting around Bucksport, take every right hand turn and follow the road to the end. You will be pleasantly surprised by the coastline, the villages, and harbors you'll find.Â
