    If you think that the state of Maine has nothing to offer but uncharted wilderness, Bar Harbor is here to change your mind. The town is hopping with various shopping, dining, and nightlife opportunities – which is why it’s quickly becoming one of the most popular Canada and New England cruise ports.

    Sand Beach and The Beehive in Acadia National Park

    For outdoor lovers, there’s no shortage of things to do in Bar Harbor. No trip to Mount Desert Island would be complete without a tour of Acadia National Park, the only national park in the Northeast. Dip your toes in the surf at Sand Beach, sample the popovers at the famed Jordan Pond House, and pay a visit to the famed Thunder Hole.
