This Nearby Maine Island is Straight Out of a Fairy Tale

Mackworth Island is easily accessible by a short bridge in Falmouth. It's not far from Portland and it's not super secluded or ultra-exclusive. Still, walking the beaten path on Mackworth Island seems to transport you into a fairy tale world of towering pines, rainbows, misty seas, and even fairy houses that seem to pop up by magic.
