Your Complete Guide to Flying to Bar Harbor, Maine
Bar Harbor is Maine’s most famous coastal destination, a charming village of 5,500 on Mount Desert Island that serves as the primary gateway to Acadia National Park — one of the most visited national parks in the United States. Acadia’s dramatic landscape of granite peaks, crashing surf, and pristine forests culminates in Cadillac Mountain, at 1,530 feet the highest point on the US Atlantic coast and the first place in the continental United States to see the sunrise.
Bar Harbor’s elegant Victorian cottages, outstanding seafood restaurants serving freshly caught Maine lobster, and the outstanding Abbe Museum of Native American culture make the village itself a destination beyond the national park.
