Amenities on Isle au Haut are minimal. There is a general store, a post office, and a library, all of which are open for limited hours. They are each within easy walking distance of the town landing. The town hall, which houses the library and functions as a community center, features a basketball hoop, a photocopier, and a pay phone. During the summer, visitors can stop by the Sea Urchin Gift Shop for souvenirs, or grab a seat at Black Dinah Chocolatiers, a wi-fi-equipped cafe featuring baked goods and hand-dipped truffles (www.blackdinahchocolatiers.com). There is currently only one inn in operation, the Inn at Isle au Haut, which is perfect for those seeking elegant lodging and gourmet dining (www.innatisleauhaut.com). Visitors interested in camping should go to http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_national_park/me/isle_aca.htm for details, or visit the park's website, http://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/duckharbor.htm. Please be advised that there are no privately-owned campsites on the island, so you must go to the park.

During the summer, church services are offered on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. at the Union Congregational Church. The Maine Seacoast Mission provides non-denominational worship aboard the Sunbeam throughout the year. In addition, the Sunbeam provides routine tele-medicine service to the island.

Those interested in armchair travel to Isle au Haut might read the work of authors Linda Greenlaw, Peter Scott, Charles Pratt, Jeffrey Burke, or Harold S. Van Doren.
