Islesford (Little Cranberry)

The village of Islesford is located on Little Cranberry Island, the smaller of the two year-round islands in acreage but the home of the largest year-round population.  Islesford is a successful and vibrant year-round lobstering community with an equally vibrant seasonal community.
