When The Ferry Is Basically Your Highway For most Americans, missing the bus is annoying. In these communities, missing the ferry can mean missing your connection to groceries, appointments, work, school, supplies, or the mainland altogether. From tiny Maine fishing villages to remote Alaskan settlements, these 25 American island communities still rely heavily on boats in 2026.

Friday Harbor, Washington Island: San Juan Island | Ferry connection: Anacortes and neighboring islands Friday Harbor looks like a postcard-perfect waterfront vacation town, but its ferries perform a much less glamorous job: connecting island life to the rest of Washington. Washington State Ferries serves San Juan Island
