Oceanic Hotel
Star Island is one of the Isles of Shoals that straddle the border between NH and Maine, seven miles from the mainland in the Atlantic Ocean. Star Island is the largest of the four islands in the group that are located in New Hampshire. The sunsets are breathtaking; those viewed from the Summerhouse and from the Oceanic's front porch are famous.
The island is like a self-sufficient town, producing all its own water and electricity, as well as a limited amount of produce. There are three separate water systems on the island—drinking water, cistern water for washing, and sea water for sanitary use. The island has its own septic treatment plant, one of the few capable of handling salt water, and a reverse osmosis water purification system for converting sea water to drinking water. The island is staffed by a crew of 90 young adults, mostly college students, termed "Pelicans", who live on Star Island for the summer and do everything.
