Situated along Frenchman Bay on Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor is a gateway to Acadia National Park. The town is surrounded by a mountain range and is a popular place for hiking and exploring. The area is also a good place for a day trip. Cadillac Mountain stands over the bay and offers panoramic views of the area. The sandy shore of Sand Beach is framed by a stunning view of the mountains. The town’s Shore Path winds along the bay and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most of the city is walkable, you may want to take a boat tour. Acadian Boat Tours offers scenic cruises that cover the surrounding area. They also offer puffin and nature tours. A kayak tour around the Porcupine Islands is one of the most beautiful activities in Bar Harbor. You can see the marine life and watch puffins in their natural habitat. This is an excellent option for the entire family, whether you are looking for a relaxing way to spend your day in the Maine coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those interested in exploring nature should head to the park’s Hulls Cover Visitor Center. It features a scale model of the park, knowledgeable rangers and a short movie. You can also schedule guided hikes to get the best views of the surrounding area. When planning a hiking trip, make sure you plan a day where you can enjoy good weather. The town is a great place for hiking in summer. While it’s difficult to beat the scenery and wildlife, a hike is an ideal activity for the entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a more relaxing way to enjoy the scenic views of Frenchman’s Bay, consider taking a stroll on the Bar Harbor Shore Path. You can even take your family along a jogging trail that runs alongside the water. There are also numerous hiking trails in the area, including the Jordon Pond and the Great Meadow Loop. Ask a knowledgeable park ranger about which trails are best suited for your family. While the city is known for its scenic beauty, you’ll be rewarded with an experience you won’t soon forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer months, whale watching is a popular activity in the area. The majestic creatures prefer the cold waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean, so you can enjoy the sight of whales from the comfort of your car. And you can also take a leisurely walk on the beach to enjoy the views of the region. Aside from whales, you can also take advantage of other activities and attractions in the area. For instance, you can spend an afternoon at the Ogunquit Beach, or take a cliff-walk through the Marginal Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another activity that is very popular in the area is taking a walk on the shore path. The trail winds along Frenchman Bay and is one of the most peaceful ways to enjoy the scenic views of the area. It is rated as a hard hike, but it’s well worth the effort. You can see the views of the sea from several vantage points. The shore path is located near the harbor and offers a variety of viewpoints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
