For those of you who have never seen Maine before, this is a must! Many are taking the day to travel down to Bar Harbor, a town that hold's a special place in Nicole & Garrett's hearts. Nicole's family visits Bar Harbor every summer! Check out the town, see the ocean, drive up Cadillac Mountain, have a picnic, whale watch, shop at Cool as a Moose, eat ice cream, try lobster, walk the lighthouse trails, go for a hike, and more! You are welcome to join our family, or stay at French's Point to walk the beach, explore the private access to hiking trails, and relax in the Adirondacks on the patio! Another great option that is closer by than Bar Harbor is Camden or Belfast! Both are quaint and cozy towns with lots ocean views, novelty shops and restaurants, hiking trails, lighthouses, and more. Let us know your plans so we can plan ours accordingly!
