Unless you are there for something you are doing at Downeast Institute, there is not a lot at all to do. You’ll have to entertain yourself. Having spent summers growing up nearby I can assure you that there is a normal amount of thunderstorms for Downeast Maine. The months you mentioned are the nicest ones weather wise.
There is nothing. Jonesport, also nothing. If you like kicking around very coastal rocky areas with nothing to do, that's Beals and Jonesport. The bridge between them is very cool. There was a campground in jonesport that might be a little more interesting for you. If you have a kayak or that type of thing this would be a perfect area to do that.
But the beauty is unmatched. The air is splendid it gets very foggy though. It's a very unique down east experience. Isolated and quirky but in a good way.
I live in a neighboring town, and we like to say that Jonesport manufactures fog, haha. There is a hiking trail on Beals, and quite a few nice ones in the area, but otherwise yeah, not much down there.
I'm living at the moment near Jonesport and go to Beals regularly. Waas preserve has about 8-10 miles of trails and it doesn't get busy, even in summer. Maybe 2-3 people who were there this winter judging by footprints. Part of trail goes along rocky shore. It's a quiet place. Clamming, fishing, kayaking, hiking. I think there is bar in Jonesport over the bridge. No thunder yet since last year.
