Bar Harbor is one of Maine's most famous towns, located on Mount Desert Island – claiming more fame than Acadia National Park and the island. Bar Harbor is one of Maine's best destinations with a great variety of lodges and hotels with ocean views and fun things to do. Its location on the waterfront of Frenchman's Bay provides a beautiful setting for inns, hotels with marinas and oceanfront cottages as well, making it an ideal stop on your tour of Downeast Maine. For a quieter setting find lodging in Northeast Harbor or Southwest or Bass Harbor, which are also spectacular towns on Mount Desert Island, just a short drive from Bar Harbor.

As the largest seaside village on Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor has an overwhelming selection of restaurants, shops and hotels for visitors, all just minutes from Acadia National Park. When visiting, you quickly see why Bar Harbor has been a famous summer haven for decades, dating back to the the Rockefellers. Vacationers today are drawn to Bar Harbor for coastal tours including lobster boat, scenic lighthouse and whale watching boat excursions, and nature walks along the Shore Path and the carriage roads of Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor's tidal sand bar allows people to walk or even drive to Bar Island during low tide. In the winter, Acadia's peaks and cliffs tempt the adventurists on ice climbing routes, cross-country skiing trails and snowmobiling in the Park. When lodging in Bar Harbor, you may want to tee off at Kebo Valley Golf Club or tour the Abbe Museum to learn about Native American history and culture.
