    Overview

    Smuttynose Island (formerly "Smutty-nose") is a 27-acre island in the Isles of Shoals, a group of small islands and tidal ledges located 6 miles (10 km) off the coast of New Hampshire and 7 miles (11 km) off the coast of Maine, United States. Smuttynose and some of the other islands in the Isles of Shoals are part of the town of Kittery in York County, Maine. The island was named by fishermen who thought the profuse seaweed at one end made it look like the "smutty nose" of some vast sea animal. Smuttynose Island is the source of the name of the Smuttynose Brewing Company of Hampton, New Hampshire.
