    Overview

    The Isles of Shoals are a group of small islands and tidal ledges situated approximately 6 miles (10 km) off the east coast of the United States, straddling the border of the states of Maine and New Hampshire. They have been occupied for more than 400 years, first by fishing communities and more recently as the site of private homes, a large seasonal hotel and a marine research facility. The islands contain two extreme points of both states in close proximity; the easternmost point of New Hampshire, and the southernmost point of Maine.
