Mount Desert Island, off the coast of Maine, is where my heart finds its true home. Nestled amid pine-clad cliffs and salt-kissed air, the ocean became my childhood playground. With my three brothers by my side, we spent our teen years scouring the shores for crabs, starfish, sand dollars and elusive octopuses. Each tide revealed unique creatures of all kinds, and like the Goonies, we experienced many secret adventures on that island—ah, the memories!
