Bar Harbor is a popular resort town in Maine that offers easy access to the stunning Acadia National Park as well as the alluring Frenchman Bay. Located on Mount Desert Island, this town is the main jumping-off point for Acadia National Park, a brilliantly well-maintained nature preserve with verdant forests, rocky coastlines, tranquil ponds, towering mountains and enough hiking paths to explore them all as you like.
Frenchman Bay is one of the most popular attractions in town and features numerous opportunities for watersports and boating in just about every configuration you can imagine. You can take out a simple sailboat or soar across the surface in a speedboat. Of course, no trip to Bar Harbor would be complete without visiting Bar Harbor Town Pier, the thriving town centre area filled with shops, restaurants and viewpoints that you won’t want to miss out on to get the full local experience.
