Aristotle famously once said that "the aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." The relevance of this great quote will not be lost when you spend time viewing the collection at Richard Boyd Art Gallery.

Richard Boyd Art Gallery is a great place to begin discovering Peaks Island. This display of artworks is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other sights like Portland Head Light, Portland Museum of Art, and University of Southern Maine to really enjoy what the area has to offer.

7.8/10 Good! (1,032 reviews)

For the cost of the overnight stay, a basic breakfast should be included. Also, it advertises itself as a smoke free property. Someone was smoking pot both nights we stayed. I told the manager and the situation was not fixed.

8.8/10 Excellent! (72 reviews)

Great, old-style Maine island inn. The beadboard walls, wraparound porch, comfy furniture and spectacular views all add up to make it feel like a classic Maine getaway. The staff is amazing, and attended to our every need. Can't wait to go back!
