Introduction to Blue Hill

Blue Hill (pop. 1,900) is fairly easy to find -- look for the gently domed, eponymous Blue Hill Mountain, which lords over the northern end of Blue Hill Bay. Set between the mountain and the bay is the quiet and historic town of Blue Hill, which clusters along the bay shore and a burbling stream. The town never seems to have much going on, which may be exactly what attracts summer visitors time and again -- and may explain why two excellent independent bookstores are located here. Many old-money families still maintain retreats along the water or in the rolling inland hills, but Blue Hill offers several excellent options for lodging if you're not well endowed with local relatives. A good destination for an escape, it especially appeals to those deft at crafting their own entertainment.
