Discover Bar Harbor

A picturesque town in northern Maine, Bar Harbor sits on Mount Desert Island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and serves as the gateway to Acadia National Forest. With an island locale, it should come as no surprise that Bar Harbor is a great place to find fresh seafood. Whether you are looking for a whole lobster, a bowl of New England clam chowder, steamers, or raw oysters, you won't be disappointed with your options. You can enjoy your seafood in quaint settings with views of Maine's rocky coast. The town also offers grills, cafés, and even a barbecue joint for those looking for something not from the sea. For dessert, you can try a scoop from one of the many homemade ice cream shops or a slice of pie at a bakery or pastry shop.
