Things To Do
Acadia National Park
We definitely recommend exploring the park on your own! There are so many beautiful spots along the Park Loop Road, and a ton of great hikes too. We strongly suggest saving any intense trails for after the wedding day :)
Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain
This is an incredible no-hike view; you can drive right up! Vehicle reservations are required (separate from your park entry pass) and cost $6. This can be competitive— they make 30% of the reservations available 90 days in advance, and the remaining 70% are available at 10am two days in advance of the reservation date. Matt and I plan to do this (if we can get a reservation) on Sunday 9/28, if you’d like to join us!
Provender Kitchen + Bar
Highly recommend this spot for dinner. Only a 1 minute drive/7 minute walk from where we’re staying!
Bar Harbor
Check out the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor
2 Cats Bar Harbor
Great spot for breakfast with indoor and outdoor spaces
Great Head Trail
This is a nice little hike with ocean views. It’s a 1.9 mile loop (about 1 hour). This trail is pretty easy but does have some rock scrambling sections. To get to this trail, park at Sand Beach and walk all the way to the far end of the beach. The trail starts at the granite steps. Up the steps you’ll see a split; take the path to the right, then follow the blazes (colored spray paint lines) for the duration of the hike.
Atlantic Brewing Midtown
Nice brewery with tasty appetizers. We loved the cheese plate and soft pretzel
Bass Harbor Head Light Station
Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. Get there early as parking is limited and the good “seats” (rocks) quickly fill up!
