In Popular Culture
Frank Parker Day's novel Rockbound takes place on the fictional island of the same name, which was based on the Mahone Bay island of East Ironbound. Day visited the area and created Rockbound as a fictionalized, exaggerated account of life on the islands.
Mahone Bay contains Oak Island, well known in connection with tales of buried treasure.
The 2006 independent movie 'A Stone's Throw' was filmed primarily at locations in and around Mahone Bay.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
