Dear Friend,
Welcome to Bar Harbor, where the scent of salt air mingles with the whisper of towering pines, and every path leads to a new adventure. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the embrace of a place filled with wonder, charm, and the kind of beauty that lingers in your heart long after you leave.
Start your days early and watch the sunrise paint the sky with hues of orange and gold. While Cadillac Mountain gets all the fame, locals know there’s quiet beauty all around. Head to Otter Cliffs for a front-row seat to the waves crashing against rugged granite. Or, try Schooner Head Overlook, where you can watch the sun peek over the horizon in solitude, with nothing but the sound of the ocean to keep you company.
Acadia National Park is a treasure trove of outdoor adventures, from rugged coastlines to serene forests. To enjoy, try the Great Head Trail—which offers stunning ocean views, with a mix of rocky outcroppings and sandy beach access. Or take it slower with a stroll along Duck Brook Path.
When hunger strikes, indulge in the freshest seafood back in town, from succulent lobster rolls to savory clam chowder. Don’t miss out on dessert with a local favorite, wild blueberry pie—a taste of Maine’s natural sweetness.
Beyond its natural beauty, Bar Harbor boasts a rich history. For centuries, this enchanting destination has drawn people from around the globe who are seeking solace, adventure, and inspiration. Explore charming cottages and fascinating museums or embark on guided tours to uncover the island’s captivating past.
Evenings bring their own magic. As the sun begins to set, wander through Bar Harbor’s charming downtown, where quaint shops and art galleries line the streets. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, and you might catch a schooner silhouetted against a pink-hued sky. The stars here shine brighter, inviting you to sit back and dream.
This place is more than a destination; it’s a feeling. It’s a place where you can slow down, connect with nature, and recharge your soul. Dive in, explore, and let Bar Harbor work its wonders on you.
Happy exploring,
Everal Eaton Executive Director Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce

HISTORY
Settled in 1763 and originally incorporated as the town of Eden, Bar Harbor has been home to fishermen, shipbuilders, artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and business people. Such diversity shaped its unique culture and helped to rebuild after the devastating Fire of 1947 that nearly destroyed the town. Today, we welcome millions of visitors each year from around the world. We are proud to share our history with you at one of our many museums, including the Abbe Museum, which showcases Wabanaki artifacts and celebrates Native American culture and history.
CULTURE
While it is a small town, Bar Harbor boasts a large arts and culture scene. Along with a number of art galleries, the town is home to several museums and nature centers. All year long, you can enjoy live music, theater, and other performances. You can bring some of our local art home with you as a souvenir by purchasing the work of our local artisans and craftsmen at one of our many shops and boutiques.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Along with its rocky coast, Bar Harbor is home to a few of nature’s wonders. Cadillac Mountain, the highest point along the North Atlantic Seaboard, overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. If you want the full view of the island’s natural beauty, visit Acadia National Park and hike or bike one of the many trails carved throughout the park. Wildlife call this natural landscape home. By going on a whale watching or bird watching tour, you can get a closer look at the fascinating creatures that live on our land and in our sea.
ACTIVITIES
Hiking, biking, and kayaking make Bar Harbor an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Lighthouses, museums, and beaches offer some great sights. When you need some downtime, you can enjoy a delicious meal of locally caught seafood at one of the town’s many fine restaurants or casual dining venues. If you prefer to be pampered, you can book a day at the spa or a relaxing massage.
Mount Desert Island greets visitors from all over the world each and every year. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or have been visiting the island since childhood, welcome and enjoy your stay.

In-town Tours & Parks
Once you find yourself in downtown Bar Harbor, you’ll want to learn more about our exceptional little village. You can learn a lot on your own with a walking tour or from a comfortable seat in the park. Here are just a few of your options:
HISTORIC WALK
For an intimate and entertaining way to explore downtown Bar Harbor, try a historic walk past 25 magnificent structures—some on the National Historic Register—dating from 1860. It’s as simple as three rights and three lefts. You’ll start from the Village Green for an in-town tour past elegant mansions, majestic churches, and refurbished municipal buildings. And in just a few short miles, you’ll return to the Village Green.
BAR ISLAND WALK
You’ll want to check the tides before heading out on this jaunt. At low tide, there’s plenty of time to walk across the shell-covered sand bar from Bridge Street to Bar Island (less than a mile). You’ll get oceanside views of West Street’s Millionaire’s Row, and then from the island’s highest point, a wonderful look back at lively Bar Harbor.
DEGREGOIRE GREEN
Visitors are welcomed to downtown Bar Harbor by DeGregoire Green, unveiled in summer 2019. Featuring a fountain, 20 stone benches, and a memorial to the Fire of ‘47, the park serves as the connecting point between Eden Street lodging establishments and the village of Bar Harbor.
VILLAGE GREEN
Smack in the center of town along Main Street, the Village Green offers a great place to sit and people watch. In the summer, it’s home to a biweekly concert series, art shows, and other cultural events. And throughout the year, seasonal celebrations bring the Village Green to life.
GRANT PARK
Grant Park is hidden away at the end of Albert Meadow across from the Village Green. Down the road and through the gates, and you’ll have found a quiet park overlooking the ocean. (Pictured above)
SHORE PATH
Along the shore of Frenchman Bay—starting at the town pier near Agamont Park—runs a narrow path bordered by beach roses known as the Shore Path. Less than a mile long, the path follows the seawall and offers striking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Porcupine Islands.
AGAMONT PARK
On a grassy hill overlooking the town pier and the harbor, Agamont Park is the perfect place to enjoy an ice cream cone or share a picnic lunch. Kick back, relax, and watch the harbor bustle.

Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park is typically one of the top ten most-visited national parks in the United States, with more than 4 million visits every year. Planning a trip to this very popular park is sure to be worth your time. Be prepared ahead of your arrival and be sure to have a park entrance pass and separate vehicle reservation for the Cadillac Summit Road. Check nps.gov/acadia before you arrive and when you arrive, visit the Acadia Gateway Center or Hulls Cove Visitor Center to speak with park rangers about your trip.
What we now know as Acadia National Park is the ancestral homeland of the Wabanaki people. European colonists began settling the area in the 1600s. Starting in the mid-19th century, wealthy summer residents, landscape architects, engineers, and skilled local craftsmen began formalizing extensive trail and carriage road networks while advocating for protection of this special place from development. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson established the park that now preserves nearly 50,000 acres including extensive historic hiking trail and carriage road networks. The park encompasses nearly half of Mount Desert Island, many smaller islands, and a portion of the Schoodic Peninsula. Today’s visitors inherit the special responsibility of caring for this heritage landscape while enjoying all that Acadia has to offer.
If you’re an early riser, enjoy sunrise from the Park Loop Road along Acadia’s beautiful rocky shoreline on the east side of Mount Desert Island. From October to May, you’ll be among the fi rst in the United States to see the dawning of a new day. Later, enjoy dinner or simply stop in for popovers and strawberry jam at the famous Jordan Pond House, a delightful restaurant founded in the early 1870s.
Motorists who drive the Park Loop Road enjoy a 27-mile ride along oceanside cliffs and mountain forests, stopping at scenic turnouts and notable attractions along the way, such as the mighty Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. The trip is a must.
One of the most amazing features of Acadia National Park is the interlaced system of historic hiking trails and carriage roads. With varied lengths and levels of difficulty, the 158 miles of hiking trails appeal to everyone from casual walkers to seasoned triathletes. Hike, bike, snowshoe, cross-country ski – or go by horse-drawn carriage.

With Acadia’s popularity June - October, plan ahead to avoid traffic congestion and long waits for parking. Consider visiting popular attractions in the early morning or late afternoons or take the fare-free* Island Explorer bus (late June - mid-October) instead of driving. Visit www.exploreracadia.com for more information.
FEES & PASSES
Everyone (16 years old and above) needs an entrance pass to visit Acadia. You can use either a National Park/Federal Lands pass (including Senior, Access, Annual, and more) or an Acadia-speci fi c pass. To purchase your pass, go to recreation.gov, visit an official Acadia National Park location, or stop by the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center when you arrive. A self-serve entrance pass machine is available 24 hours a day at the Hulls Cove Visitor Center parking lot to purchase 7-day vehicle, motorcycle, and individual entrance passes by credit card.
In addition to your entrance pass, vehicle reservations are required for Cadillac Summit Road from mid-May to midOctober. Reservations can be made at recreation.gov. Vehicle reservations are not required for visitors who access Cadillac Summit area by foot, bike, or taxi.
*An entrance pass is required if using the Island Explorer bus service to visit the park.

While You’re Here...
Take a step back in time when you walk, hike, bike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski the carriage roads of Mount Desert Island. You can choose to go by horse and carriage, the way John D. Rockefeller, Jr. intended when he helped plan and fund the park’s 45 miles of crushed stone roads between 1913 and 1940 for motorless travel. No matter how you experience the carriage roads, you’ll enjoy the magnificent beauty that surrounds them.
The historic carriage roads are 16 feet wide with generous crowns that keep them well drained. Considered the best example of broken stone roads in the United States, they are, indeed, an engineering wonder. Local workers quarried granite right here on the island to build the intricate network of roads and 17 spectacular stone bridges. In fact, the stone cutters developed such skill that Rockefeller asked them to create a more rustic look. He also took care to preserve trees and to landscape with native plants through the expertise of landscape architect Beatrix Farrand—ferns, sheep laurel, and blueberry bushes—so the roads blend naturally with their surroundings.
The well-marked carriage roads wander through Acadia National Park, covering long, shady stretches of woodland, skirting peaceful lakes and ponds, and circling mountains.
More than 60 years ago, Rockefeller donated 11,000 acres to Acadia National Park, complete with the carriage road system he designed and funded. Today both Mainers and visitors enjoy the quiet beauty of Acadia’s beautiful carriage roads.
Acadia offers more than 158 miles of interconnected and looping hiking trails that appeal to explorers of all skill levels. To simply relax and enjoy your vacation on a scenic yet casual walk, try some local favorites which can all be reached from the Island Explorer bus service (late Junemid-October).
Whether it’s adventure or relaxation you crave, Mount Desert Island is teeming with fabulous experiences.
OCEAN PATH
From the upper parking lot at Sand Beach, this easy walk takes you to Otter Point and back. The entire trail skirts the Atlantic, so you have breathtaking views at every step. Stop at Thunder Hole for photos.
JESUP PATH
Start in town at the Village Green and connect to the Jesup Path via Ledgelawn Avenue and the Great Meadow Loop trail, which meanders through the woods along Kebo Valley Golf Club and across Great Meadow to Sieur de Monts (2.5 miles one way, easy). Visit with park rangers at Acadia’s Sieur de Monts Nature Center. For a one-way walk, take the Island Explorer bus to Sieur de Monts then take a leisurely stroll back to Bar Harbor after visiting these park highlights.
CADILLAC MOUNTAIN
Hike on the North or South Ridge trails to the Cadillac summit at 1,530 feet to enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay, and surrounding islands. Remember, driving to the summit requires a vehicle reservation from mid-May to mid-October.
THE PRECIPICE
On the eastern face of Champlain Mountain, you’ll discover the most challenging of the park’s historic hiking trails. With an exposed 1000-foot vertical surface ascended on rung ladders, the climb is strenuous and recommended for experienced, fi t, and fearless adventurers. This hike is not recommended for young children or hikers with a fear of heights. Dogs are prohibited for their safety. The Precipice is also a critical habitat for the endangered peregrine falcon and is typically closed from April to mid-August to protect these territorial birds while they are nesting.
The best place to get expansive scenic views of Acadia National Park is from offshore in Frenchman Bay. Avoid the bustle of mid-day crowds and join a Ranger-led boat tour around Mount Desert Island or visit an offshore island…
BAKER ISLAND CRUISE
Join a park ranger on a five-hour ocean and island tour to Baker Island to visit a historic cemetery and homestead, the Baker Island Lighthouse, and a rugged, rocky shoreline. Enjoy fantastic views of Mount Desert Island and watch for seabirds, seals, porpoises, and other marine life while travelling to this offshore gem. Not recommended for small children or visitors with mobility issues as the island portion of the tour can be strenuous and consist of uneven surfaces. Departs from Bar Harbor. For reservations, call 207-288-2386 or visit www.barharborwhales.com.
Always visit Acadia with a back-up plan. If a parking lot or area is full when you arrive, pick a new destination and protect the park by not parking outside of designated spaces.
ISLESFORD SCENIC & HISTORIC CRUISE
Join a park ranger for a 3-hour cruise to explore the connections between people and the sea with a visit to the Islesford Historical Museum and Little Cranberry Island. Enjoy sweeping views of Somes Sound, watch for marine mammals and sea birds, and view multiple lighthouses while travelling to the lobstering community of Islesford. Tour departs from Northeast Harbor. For reservations, call 207-276-5352 or visit www.cruiseacadia.com.
These are the boat tours with park rangers on-board but many other boat tour options exist for sea kayaking, lobstering, nature viewing, whale watching, underwater diving, and sunset sailing. Sunset is an amazing time to take a boat trip because you will get 360-degree views of the setting sun as the colors reflect on the offshore waters. For more trip planning ideas and information on ranger-led programs, special use permits, fees, alerts and management efforts in Acadia National Park, visit www.nps.gov/acad or follow Acadia National Park on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at AcadiaNPS.

Island Beacons
The legacy of working waters and waterfronts still shine their light on Acadia National Park. Many lighthouses dot the area’s island settings from Blue Hill Bay to Frenchman Bay signaling with flashing lights and fog blasts to keep boaters safe in foul weather. Two of them, the Mount Desert Rock Light and the Great Duck Island Light, are owned by the College of the Atlantic, where students study whales and nesting seabirds. The other four are Baker Island, Bear Island Light, Burnt Coat Harbor, and Egg Rock Light.
Mount Desert Island-area Lighthouses
BEAR ISLAND
Constructed in 1839, the tower is only 31 feet high. It is located on the high, western end of Bear Island just south of the entrance to Northeast Harbor. While public access to the island is prohibited, views of the lighthouse can be enjoyed from the water. (pictured above)
BAKER ISLAND
The original tower, built in 1828, was made of wood. The existing 43-foot-high stone tower, painted white, was built in 1855. The light was automated in 1966. It is now owned by Acadia National Park and is accessible only by boat.
BASS HARBOR HEAD
Built in 1858, the lighthouse sits high atop a rugged granite shoreline on Mount Desert Island. Located at the southwestern section of Acadia National Park in Bass Harbor, the light guards the southern entrance of Blue Hill Bay and warns against Bass Harbor Bar. Visitors may tour the grounds at Bass Harbor Head, but not the lighthouse itself. Parking at the lighthouse is extremely limited. Expect long waits from May to October.
BURNT COAT HARBOR
Located on Swans Island and marking the entrance of Burnt Coat Harbor, this lighthouse originally sported two towers. The existing 32-foot tower, which began shining on its own in 1885, was actually the shorter of the two lights. It was automated in 1975. The site is now owned by the town of Swans Island and sports a park and museum. Swans Island is accessible via Maine State Ferry from Bass Harbor, with lighthouse access via the road.
EGG ROCK
Due to the growing seasonal ferry traffic to Bar Harbor, Egg Rock Lighthouse was constructed in 1875. This architecturally unique lighthouse stands 40 feet tall and marks the entrance to Frenchman Bay. Egg Rock is closed to public access to protect wildlife habitat.
GREAT DUCK ISLAND
Built in 1890, the 42-foot brick tower light was automated in 1986. The keeper and his wife who lived there in the early 1900s set a record for the greatest number of children in one keeper’s family – 16. Several shipwrecked sailors washed up on the island over the years. Great Duck Island is accessible only by boat.
MOUNT DESERT ROCK
This 48-foot granite tower was built in 1847 to replace an earlier wooden structure. There is no vegetation on this windswept rock. Waves from winter gales frequently damage other structures. It is now used by College of the Atlantic’s Allied Whale as a marine mammal research station. Mount Desert Rock is accessible only by boat.
Four Seasons of Fun
Summer isn’t the only time to visit Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island. Our year-round community offers plenty for guests at any time of the year.
FALL FOR LEAF PEEPING
Brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds paint the landscape in Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park every fall. Contrasted against deep green conifers, the colors actually seem to pop! The rocky, mountainous coastline provides the perfect setting for taking in the colorful scenery. You’ll want to drive the Park Loop Road at Acadia National Park and be sure to have a camera within easy reach to record one of the most beautiful fall landscapes in New England. Feeling a little more adventurous? What better way to see the glorious foliage than with a scenic flight tour that offers sweeping views of Mount Desert Island from above! To track the foliage as it progresses through Maine, go to www.mainefoliage.com.
For even more fall fun, plan your visit during the second Saturday in November and take part in our annual Early
Bird Pajama Sale & Bed Races event. Shopping starts at 6:00 a.m. and participating businesses will offer discounts to those wearing PJs. The Bed Races involve competitive fun between area businesses on rolling, decorated beds. It’s a Bar Harbor tradition you won’t want to miss!
WINTER GETAWAY
Ever wondered what Bar Harbor and Acadia are like in the winter? Discover the serene side of the park and downtown festivities. You can take a winter hike, go cross country skiing or snowshoeing on a carriage road at Acadia National Park, lace up your ice skates at Jordan Pond, or try ice fishing on Echo Lake. There’s fun indoors too—downtown shopping, a friendly game of darts at a local tavern, chowder for lunch, or soaking in the history and culture of a local museum. Later on, claim a spot next to the fireplace at one of our cozy bed and breakfasts and
enjoy a hot cup of cocoa. Bar Harbor can be a wonderful place for a relaxing winter getaway.
The holidays are also a great time to be on Mount Desert Island. Santa Claus himself makes special stops in Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Southwest Harbor to greet children of all ages and kick off the holiday season. Each town is decorated for the season and our locally-owned shops are ready to help you check off your gift list.
SPRING AHEAD
Get a jump-start on your warm weather travels by heading to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in the springtime. Many parts of the park that are off limits during the winter months are once again accessible in the spring. Shops and restaurants are back from their winter breaks and ready to welcome you with a smile. The temperatures are still on the cool side, but you’ll be able to see the spring blossoms opening all over Mount Desert Island, which definitely makes it worth wearing that extra layer.
Learn more about our town by taking a guided walking tour in downtown Bar Harbor or watch the wildlife return from their winter slumber by booking a nature cruise in Frenchman Bay. Grab lunch at an outdoor table and enjoy a hot cup of chowder and a locally brewed beer.

The Perfect Vacation Destination
Vacation is a time to have fun, relax, and make memories—and Mount Desert Island is the perfect place to accomplish all of that and more! Our picturesque downtowns, vibrant art scene, and great outdoors offer a variety of activities to satisfy your personal image of what an ideal vacation should be. There’s so much to do here that it’s no wonder many of our visitors return every year.
GRAB THE FAMILY AND HEAD TO THE PARK
Acadia National Park is the ultimate family-friendly destination. You can take a self- or ranger-guided tour of the park and its 158 miles of trails tailored for all ages. If you don’t want to adhere to a schedule, you can ride a bike or take a hike on a carriage road. Acadia offers families the perfect beach day at Sand Beach or Echo Lake. For more information about ranger-guided activities, stop by the Acadia National Park Hulls Cove Visitor Center (or other park contact stations), or visit the park website at www.nps.gov/acad.
EXPLORE THE BAY
Frenchman Bay is a major part of Bar Harbor’s landscape, heritage, and culture. The crashing waves invite you to fully enjoy all that the sea has to offer. Take a nature cruise to watch seals, porpoises, whales, and mysterious underwater creatures. Or, stay on land to spot bald eagles, ospreys, peregrine falcons, great blue herons, woodpeckers, warblers, and shorebirds on a beginning birdwatcher’s tour.
At low tide, see how Bar Harbor got its name—a large sand bar connects downtown Bar Harbor to Bar Island. Across the sand bar, a nature trail rises to a summit, offering spectacular views of Mount Desert Island. If you go, don’t forget to check the local tide schedule and leave plenty of time to get back before the tide rolls in—it comes fast!
STAY IN SHAPE
Hiking trails cover Acadia National Park. The carriage roads also offer 45 miles of groomed, auto-free roads for you to hike or bike as a family. There are a number of bike shops that rent everything from mountain bikes to touring models. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy a swim in the Atlantic Ocean at one of our beaches or a freshwater dip in one of our lakes. For rainy days, the Mount Desert Island YMCA offers an indoor track, pool, and gym. There are also several world-class golf courses nearby.
LOCAL FESTIVALS
No matter the season, festivals of all kinds are held here each year. One festival has become a local tradition—the Bar Harbor Music Festival, which celebrated its 57th anniversary last year. Each May, Bar Harbor hosts the Abbe Museum Indian Market, the first multi-day event of its kind in New England featuring Native American artists from across North America. In the summer you can also
enjoy the Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival, the Ellsworth Antique Show at Woodlawn, and the Harbor House Flamingo Festival.
RELAXATION
If your idea of a good vacation is relaxing and getting pampered, Bar Harbor is your paradise. From enjoying lunch and leisure shopping downtown, to spending a day at one of our luxurious spas, to reading your favorite book while appreciating Frenchman Bay, you can always find peace and relaxation in Bar Harbor.
EXPERIENCE THE ARTS
Mount Desert Island is a haven for lovers of the visual and performing arts. Browse one of our many museums and art galleries; let us entertain you by attending a concert, play, or comedy show; or, plan a hands-on experience at an art workshop with ArtWaves MDI (artwavesmdi.org).

Did you know that...
• Over 5 million lobsters are eaten in Bar Harbor each year.
Lobster Trivia
• About 90% of the nation’s lobster supply is caught off the coast of Maine.
• Maine has more than 5,000 licensed lobstermen and women.
• A female lobster lays anywhere from several thousand to 100,000 eggs at a time, but only one-tenth of one percent of those eggs will develop and live past six weeks in the larva stage.
Address is Bar Harbor, ME 04609 unless otherwise noted.
• The lobster has an average life span of 50 years.
• One of the largest and best-known lobsters caught in Maine was named “Rocky”. He measured 40 inches and weighed 27 pounds. While not confirmed, there are stories of a 55.5-pound lobster being caught in Maine in 1926.
• An adult male lobster will grow a new shell and shed its old one about once a year; females once every two years, increasing an average of 1/2 inch and 1/3 pound with each molt. During its early growth stages, a lobster is believed to shed some 25 times over five to seven years.

OUR NEIGHBOR VILLAGES ARE KEY TO MOUNT
DESERT ISLAND’S IDENTITY
The tale of Mount Desert Island’s towns has always been about its villages. Although there are four main townships (Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor, and Tremont) on MDI, many island residents identify themselves by the village in which they live. In years past, each village had its own center with store, post
office, fire department, and Village Improvement Society. Many are still justifiably proud of their manicured village greens. Some exist now only on antique maps, their location betrayed by seldom-visited family cemeteries. Village identities remain strong and residents of each take pride in, and celebrate, their unique characters including being known as the “quiet side” of the island.

Making Memories at Beal’s Lobster Pier
IT’S ABOUT FAMILY. IT’S ABOUT TRADITION. IT’S ABOUT MAINE.
For over 90 years, Beal’s Lobster Pier has been doing things the same way—splicing lines, tying off boats, and pulling up nets and traps full of the best Maine lobster. The lobstermen still rise early. They still pull on layers to guard themselves from the chill of the air. And they still bring their fresh catch straight to Beal’s Lobster Pier.
As soon as you walk up to Beal’s and see the lobster tanks, the fun begins. Eating lobster at Beal’s Lobster Pier isn’t just about cracking their shells and gathering the sweet meat from their claws to douse in baths of butter –it’s about sharing the experience with friends and family.
The lobster in front of you is a combination of things – a rich tradition that defines Maine’s culture, a taste of the sea, a testament to the hard work lobstermen put in every day to bring you the freshest seafood you can find, and perhaps most importantly, a memory to be made and passed on.
Generations of native Mainers and vacationers love spending time at Beal’s, listening to the ocean, digging into fresh seafood, and enjoying time with family. It’s why Beal’s Lobster Pier has been around so long.
If you stop by Beal’s today, you can see for yourself just how special this way of life is. Since its first year in 1932, this family-owned working fish and lobster pier has been operating year-round.
Rise, work, retire for the day, and live humbly, providing food that helps families make memories – that’s what Maine lobstermen do, and that’s what Beal’s Lobster Pier has done for generations.
At Beal’s, not much has changed in over 90 years. That’s why families keep coming back—because they like it that way.
Imagine a steaming boiler, the fresh scent of lobster caught straight from the salty sea, the satisfying crunch as you crack into this delicacy, and the sweet, succulent taste of a dish that Maine does best.
Stop by today to see just what Maine is all about. Take it from us – when you’re this close, you can really taste the freshness.
During the summer season, our restaurant is open 7 days a week. You can also enjoy our Beal’s at Home service anytime! We ship our fresh from the dock lobster nationwide, year-round, or we can pack some up to travel with you.
SOUTHWESTHARBOR MANSET
SOUTHWEST HARBOR
Southwest Harbor is located on the southwest side of the Great Harbor of Mount Desert. It, along with Bass Harbor, is one of the primary harbors used by the area’s commercial fishing fleet. The town was part of Tremont until 1905 when it seceded in a dispute over the location of a new school.
Downtown Southwest Harbor sports the quintessential small town Main Street. Its tree-lined sidewalks pass by sidewalk cafes, galleries, a hardware store, clothing shops, a drug store, banks, many casual and fine dining restaurants, churches, Pemetic Elementary School, the library, and Harbor House Community Service Center.
In early July, Main Street turns a bright shade of pink as the town celebrates the Flamingo Festival. This whimsical, lighthearted event celebrates the tacky pink flamingo lawn
ornament and has been a favorite of local families for more than 20 years.
The town, which has a year-round population of around 2,000 people, is also home to a museum of bird carving, a golf course, a medical center, and municipal facilities. There are several municipal and commercial wharfs along the harbor. On Clark Point, the U.S. Coast Guard operates a major base for maintaining aids to navigation, routine patrols, and search and rescue.
Other villages include Manset and Seawall. Manset, located on the harbor’s southern shore, has several busy wharfs and some seasonal restaurants. It is where the headquarters of world renowned boat builders, the Hinckley Company, are located. Several other boat builders are located in that village as well.

Seawall, where Acadia’s second public campground and picnic area is located, gets its name from the long winding mound of rounded beach stones pushed up by the sea.
TREMONT
This town’s name is derived from the three distinctive summits of Western Mountain visible from most areas of the community. The town’s 1,600 or so inhabitants reside in the burgs of Bass Harbor and Bernard on the harbor itself, and farther north along MDI’s western shore in the villages of West Tremont, and Seal Cove. The tiny, seasonal village on Gotts Island is also part of Tremont.
For many years each village had its own post office and fire department, even though they were only a few miles apart. Bass Harbor proper, with its scores of lobster boats and fish wharfs, is an authentic Down East experience.
In the early 1900s, Bass Harbor was named McKinley on maps, quite by accident. When villagers asked federal officials for a post office in Bass Harbor the request was granted. They were then asked what name it should have. Perhaps giddy with success, one member of the local
delegation reportedly responded with the offhand remark “Name it after the president for all we care.” Officials took them up on that, and the name stuck until 1961 when residents petitioned for it to revert to Bass Harbor.
The village has several shops, galleries, churches and restaurants, boat building establishments, the town dock, the state ferry terminal for access to Swans Island and Frenchboro, the town office, fire department, and Tremont Consolidated Elementary School. Nearby is the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.
On the opposite shore is Bernard with another town dock, some small businesses, and a popular waterfront eatery. Although for years most of the seasonal residents of Tremont were of relatively modest means, several large residential compounds have been built along the shore in recent years leading some to call the area “the gold coast.”
Seal Cove, where another public boat launch is located, is home to the Seal Cove Auto Museum that features Brass Era automobiles, including a working Stanley Steamer.
MOUNT DESERT
Mount Desert is the second largest town on the island with a year-round population of about 2,100 people. In summer, the population, like many other communities on MDI, effectively doubles. Residents live in the villages of Otter Creek, Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Somesville, Hall Quarry, and Pretty Marsh. Otter Creek, the farthest east, has a few commercial establishments and is where Acadia National Park’s largest campground, Blackwoods, is located.
NORTHEAST HARBOR
Northeast Harbor is the largest village and main commercial area. It boasts a bustling harbor and marina with many large seasonal cottages lining the waterfront. Downtown has a number of unique shops, galleries, and restaurants. There is a museum, Neighborhood House Community Center, several churches, banks, a health center, motel, inns, a library, golf course, and the Northeast Harbor Elementary School.

SEAL HARBOR
Seal Harbor was once a popular steamboat stop. It boasts a compact commercial block with shops, a restaurant, churches, and a post office. The village green overlooks a public saltwater sand beach, and the eastern shore is home to the town dock and Seal Harbor Yacht Club.
SOMESVILLE
Located almost in the exact center of MDI near the head of tide on Somes Sound, is the oldest settlement on the island. It features a library, wildlife preserve, museum, branch bank and post office, and a smattering of businesses. Most of the historic houses along the main road are all painted white, leading many to joke that it is required by law—it’s not. The graceful white, arched footbridge over the Millpond Brook is one of the most beautiful and frequently photographed spots in Maine. The Somesville area is also home to Camp Beech Cliff, which ranks among the most spectacular day camp recreational facilities for young people in New England. Just to the south, down Route 102, is Hall Quarry, which was once home to nearly a dozen granite removal operations. Hall Quarry granite was loaded directly onto schooners and shipped around the world. Only one small quarry remains in intermittent operation. Just west of Somesville, on the island’s western shore, is Pretty Marsh. It is almost entirely residential, except for a meeting hall, national park picnic area, and public boat launching facility at Bartlett Island Landing.
TRENTON
Trenton is located on the last point of mainland before entering Mount Desert Island. It was incorporated in 1789 and named in honor of George Washington’s battle in Trenton, New Jersey. Throughout the 1800s, the shipbuilding, lumber, shipping and lobster fishing industries were booming. Today, as you drive through Trenton, you will find campgrounds, family-friendly activities, and some of the freshest lobster around at any number of restaurants and lobster pounds. For more than 200 years travelers have been inspired by the view from Trenton Bridge as they near their vacation destination on Mount Desert Island.
ELLSWORTH
The city of Ellsworth is situated on the Union River and served by U.S. Routes 1 and 1A, among other major highways. The “Crossroads of Downeast Maine”, Ellsworth is more than just a gateway to Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island. The city is home to nearly 8,000 year-round residents who welcome visitors vacationing in Acadia National Park. Incorporated in 1800, Ellsworth was once a significant hub for the North American timber industry and has a great shipbuilding history. Today, its vibrant downtown is filled with unique shops and eateries making it a “must visit” for all.
