Bar Harbor

by where2next - last update: Apr 1, 2004

Bar Harbor is a very relaxing and unpretentious town to visit. This view is from near the top of a hill within Acadia National Park. The town is small (as you can see). I went sea kayaking around the two islands on the left of this photo.
Bar Harbor
This hotel is located right near the harbor and close to main street. Did you know that Martha Stewart, Mel Gibson, and John Travolta each has a home up in Bar Harbor? Well, that is what our Kayak guides related. I could understand why as the feeling in the town is so relaxing and unassuming.
Sea Kayaking is pretty cool. This is around the harbor area, though actually I had hoped to go into Acadia Park
(water was too rough).

The town of Bar Harbor is a great place to relax as it has a nice mix of restaurants, bars, and places to shop.
