2011 Map of Roque Bluffs

About this map

Roque Bluffs and the coastal village of Starboard anchor this maritime survey of the Washington County shoreline. The landscape is defined by its transition from the mouth of the Englishman River to the open Atlantic Ocean. Natural features dominate the coastline, including the freshwater Shoppee Pond separated from the salt air by Roque Bluffs Beach. The archipelago scattered offshore features numerous named ledges and islands such as The Brothers, Foster Island, and the Scabby Islands, illustrating a coastline where water and granite landforms are inextricably linked. Inland, modest elevations like Johnson Mountain rise above the coastal roads, while local routes like Roque Bluffs Rd and Starboard Creek Rd provide access to the various points and coves that have historically supported the area's maritime identity.
