Bar Harbor
You'll anchor off Bar Harbor, the main hub on Mount Desert Island and the gateway to Acadia National Park — one of the most visited national parks in the country. From here you can explore the town's classic New England waterfront, grab a lobster roll, and head into the park's famous carriage roads and hiking trails. The sunsets from the surrounding headlands are genuinely stunning. Plan 1.5–2 hours minimum to take it all in.
