A celebrated vacation destination on Mount Desert Island that is the gateway to Acadia National Park, it possesses a rich history and culture unlike any other. The natural beauty that surrounds Bar Harbor is punctuated with ocean cliffs and rocky beaches, glacier‐formed lakes and valleys, unobstructed mountain vistas, and boreal forest. This beauty has been captured in the works of Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Fitz Henry Lane, and many other great artists. Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island’s largest community, is a five‐hour drive from Boston and 50 miles from Bangor International Airport. It is the shopping, dining and nightlife headquarters of the island, the second largest on the eastern seaboard behind Long Island. Though it is spelled Mount “Desert” Island, Desert is actually pronounced “dessert,” the French pronunciation, in homage to Samuel de Champlain, the celebrated French voyager who explored and named the island in 1604. Mount Desert Island’s picturesque coastal communities and colorful people are as varied as the island’s scenery. Because of this variety, there is something for everyone to connect to. Bar Harbor is the largest community and offers a great variety of amenities and tourism experiences to visitors. On the quieter side of the island, coastal villages with enchanting names like Bass Harbor, Otter Creek, and Seal Harbor are home to working waterfronts, family‐run lobster pounds, cafes, galleries, and artisan shops.
