Sutton Island, in Hancock County, Maine, is a small, private island south of Mount Desert Island, and north of Cranberry Isles, Maine. Its dimensions are roughly 2.1 km on its east-west axis by 1.1km north to south. It has a negligible permanent population, but is the site of many summer homes, including two owned by Harvard University which are used by faculty. The island has no roads, bridge to the mainland, or airstrip. It is primarily accessed by ferry or water taxi from Southwest Harbor, Maine.
