Damariscove Island, on the southeast side of the entrance to Booth Bay, is 1.7 miles long, bare, and nearly divided in the middle. Damariscove Harbor, at the south end, is used as a small-boat harbor by local fishermen. Conspicuous objects are two lookout towers and the buildings of a former Coast Guard station on the highest parts of the southerly section of the island.

Damariscove Island is the site of one of the earliest European settlements in North America, predating Jamestown and Plymouth.
