Perry balances salt air and open sky along the upper reaches of Passamaquoddy Bay, with quiet lakes, tidal flats, and working woodlands shaping everyday routines. The 45th Parallel monument on U.S. 1 marks the town’s perch halfway between the Equator and the North Pole, while day‑to‑day needs and artsy diversions are close by in Eastport, scenic Pembroke, and county services in Machias and across Washington County.
Outdoor time comes easy: campers and paddlers prize Cobscook Bay State Park for its immense tides and starry skies, and wildlife watchers head to Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge for songbirds, moose, and quiet trails. On the cultural side, the neighboring Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point enriches the area with language, art, and events that root life here in deep Wabanaki history.
Families appreciate small class sizes. Perry Elementary is served through AOS 90, with many high‑schoolers attending Shead High School in the next town over. Weekend routines lean toward boat ramps, farmers markets, and shoreline sunrises—plus the occasional eagle overhead.
Housing ranges from lakefront cottages on Boyden Lake to wooded acreage with room for gardens and workshops. If you’re planning a move, or ready to list, Agent Pronto can connect you with a proven local agent who knows Perry’s back roads, waterfronts, and market rhythms.
