Bar Harbor, Maine and Mount Desert Island
Cadillac MtnBar Harbor is known as the Jewel of Mount Desert Island. Like a diamond with many facets, Bar Harbor has layers of history and happenings to explore. From our docks, you can set sail on a schooner, board a whale watch boat, or take a scenic cruise to view lighthouses, seals, and legendary Egg Rock. Walk thru the quaint village on your own or take a guided tour to learn about this historic seaside settlement.

Bar Harbor’s charm rises above the high watermark to the village streets lined with distinctive shops, great restaurants and art galleries. Bar Harbor is rich in seafaring history; many authentic sites of “Old” Bar Harbor are open for your exploration. Bar Harbor’s event calendar brims with exciting festivals and concerts, plus Summer Stock Theater and comedy to entertain you during your Maine stay.

Shoppers will find all sorts of treasures along the animated town’s streets, and local artists galleries displaying work inspired by the local natural beauty. To venture beyond the downtown, rent a bike or scooter, or paddle a kayak along the 28 miles of coastline that comprise Bar Harbor.
