Bailey Island, Maine- nice nature/hiking?
We are thinking of renting a house in Bailey's Island, Maine, and bringing a toddler, wondering if there are any kid friendly walks there with nice nature (aka, not difficult level walks, not on the rocks but something pretty that everyone would enjoy...) Also how is the island in terms of grocery stores, produce, to cook up nice homemade food for the kiddo?

This lovely island is located on the coast of Maine about 15 miles south of Brunswick, Maine at the southern most end of Route 24. It is part of the Town of Harpswell. The island is almost 3 miles long and less than one mile wide. It is located about 50 miles from Portland, Maine.
As far as groceries, even a convenience store might be hard to find but you are going to have to drive thru Brunswick to get to Harpswell. It's a big college town with lots of commercial area. You won't have to go down town but if you do, Brunswick has a wonderful farmers market on the common. I think it's held on Fridays. You can get things like fresh yogurt and strawberries if in season. The entire Harpswell area is like time stopped, very rural. Should you be there for 4th of July, nearby Bath has a wonderful 4th of July parade, crafts on the common, etc. Friends stay every year near Dolphin Marina.
