Valley Cove

Valley Cove is a quiet anchorage tucked into the western shore of Somes Sound, the only natural fjord-like feature on the East Coast of the US. You drop the hook here and find yourself surrounded by steep, forested cliffs that rise dramatically from the water — it's a genuinely striking spot within Acadia National Park. The seclusion and scenery make it feel worlds away from the busier parts of the island, and the trailhead nearby connects you to the park's trail network if you want to stretch your legs ashore.
