Box 147, Surry, ME Fax: 667-5187 Municipal Information Town Description Surry occupies a beautiful section of the Maine coast, sharing borders with Blue Hill, Ellsworth, Orland and Penobscot. Until the end of the 19th century, there was a large business done in building small vessels which carried residents on the coasting trade and supported the local fishing interests. Several boat builders still make Surry their home. Wesmac Marine builds fiberglass-hulled lobster boats, yachts, sportfishing boats, and USCG certified passenger boats. On the Toddy Pond Road, Morgan Bay Boat Company specializes in custom-made Maine yachts and boats for fishing and pleasure. The Surry Playhouse, for many years a stop on the “Straw Hat” summer theater circuit, has been succeeded by The New Surry Theatre, with regular productions in the Blue Hill Town Hall theater. With a strong tradition of hospitality, Surry welcomed stage and steamship passengers and still accommodates seasonal visitors, with a number of establishments offering food and lodging. Guests can chose from an inn, several bed and breakfasts and many vacation rentals. There are campgrounds on the shores of Patten Pond. Several flower shops and nurseries will please gardeners.
