Map Close-Up
Nervous Nellie's is located on Deer Isle, Maine. It is about 3 hours from Portland, a little more than an hour from Bar Harbor, and about 30 minutes from Blue Hill.
From Route 1 north of Bucksport, take Route 15 through Blue Hill and Sedgwick, then across the suspension bridge to Deer Isle. You are crossing the Eggemoggin Reach, a passage well-known to yachtsmen. Follow Route 15 for 6 miles to a Mobil station on the right. (If you have a dog with you, stop for gas---Scruffy will get a milk bone.) Here, take a left onto the Sunshine Road. Nervous Nellie's is 3 miles along on the left (bearing right at the fork after a mile or so). Just follow the signs.
