Guide to Hancock, Sullivan, Prospect Harbor, and Winter Harbor Maine Hotels, Inns, and Lodging

Hancock, Sullivan, Winter Harbor and Prospect Harbor areas are all near Mount Desert Island. Hancock County sports a couple of Inns and B&B’s. Sullivan and Sullivan Harbor are located just across Frenchman Bay from Bar Harbor. While millions flock to Mount Desert Island to see Acadia and Bar Harbor, few visit the incredibly scenic Schoodic Peninsula which is also part of Acadia National Park. This is the only mainland region of Acadia National Park. Schoodic Peninsula offers a spectacular scenic drive around the peninsula via car or bike with many great places to stop for a picnic or a walk on the magnificent pink granite boulders and beaches. The sunsets and sunrises from here across Frenchman’s Bay and Cadillac Mountain are stunning. 

Lodging here has the benefit of waterfront bed and breakfast homes, and cozy cabins situated right by the ocean’s edge. Lobstering is plentiful in these waters, and therefor affordable at local lobster pounds and classic Maine clam shacks. Boaters and artists love visiting these towns and less discovered harbors as these are true Maine gems. This Downeast region also provides some fabulous oceanfront camping opportunities with Mount Desert Island as a stunning backdrop. Other affordable relaxed Maine towns in this region are Winter Harbor, Gouldsboro, Sorrento and Trenton, and further Downeast areMachias, Jonesport, and Lubec.
