Somes Harbor
Drop anchor at Somes Harbor, tucked at the head of Somes Sound — one of the only true fjards on the U.S. East Coast, cutting nearly 4.5 miles into the heart of Mount Desert Island. The steep, wooded walls of the sound give way to a gentler shoreline here, putting you within easy reach of Acadia National Park's trails and the village of Somesville.
