We encourage everyone to go on a walk or hike around Acadia National Park (one of our favorite places on Earth). Here are some hikes we recommend
Easy
Jordan Pond Loop
Ocean Path Trail
Moderate - Hard
Beehive *Our FAVORITE hike*
North South Bubble
Gorham Mountain Trail
One of the post popular things to do in Acadia is to drive up Cadillac mountain at sunrise - the first place the sun rises in the U.S. You will need to make a vehicle reservation here.
Walk around the cute downtown area of Bar Harbor, here are some of our favorites:
For a coffee: Coffee Hound
For a good, blueberry-filled breakfast: Jordan's (make SURE to get a grilled blueberry muffin)
For a lobster roll: Beal's Lobster, West Street Cafe, The Travelin Lobster, Stewmans Lobster Pound.
For a drink: Thirsty Whale, The Barnacle, Bar Harbor Beer Works, Atlantic Brewing Company
To bring your dog home a treat: Bark-Harbor
Take a boat ride to go try and find some whales! They also offer a lighthouse & nature wildlife cruise.
